Ha-ha. Oooh, poor little pee-pee Northern Iowa. Now this is mad.
It was the biggest collapse in the history of scholarly short pants basketball (maybe not when they wore long pants or gowns). UNI led by 12 points with 35 seconds left in the game at which point their win probability, in blue below, according to 538 was:
99.9%, almost as great as Donald Trump's chances of becoming your Republican nominee for POTUS.
Then Northern Iowa forgot how to play basketball, they thought they were shucking wheat or corn or whatever they do in "northern" "Iowa." They were shucking the basketball directly to Texas A&M players, making apple turnover after apple turnover and the "Agathas" tied the score. The game went into apple overtime and then double apple overtime and A&M won 92-88. Schadenfreude they call that there, schadenfreude. Probably not in northern Iowa however.
