Down 14 just over a minute to go, Nevada rallies to beat New Mexico

[HawkRugged17]

Whenever you think the game is over, it might not be over yet. Crazy comeback.

 

[StormHawk42]

Not sure if you even qualify that as a choke with all the ridiculous 3's they were draining.

Justin Johnson-esque

 

[Franisdaman]

didn't UNI do the same thing in the Big Dance last year?

 

[Chewback]

Geez, that Nevada guy has a worse looking shot than Larry Bird.

Theirs was worse. I think they were up 12 with 45 seconds left. And theirs was definitely a choke. They couldn't even inbound the ball.

They forgot how to dribble in that last 45 seconds.

UNI was actually up 12 with 35 seconds to go.

Hawks coming back against the Illini in 1987 down 22 on the road is my favorite comeback ever.

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

Holy sh!t that was crazy!

 

[Bulldogs1974]

At ku

At ku

That was great too but I remember that 87 game with IA IL IN PU all in the top 6. And the smugness of the Illini players when they thought they rolled us. Wiped the smirks off their faces.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Amazing comeback. And no handshake line after the game.

 

[hexumhawk]

Looks like something that would happen to the Hawks

 

[Douglas C. Neidermeyer]

How about Stony Brook going on a 21-0 run in the final 6 minutes to beat Albany by 2?

Free throws.

If you don't make em they will cost you.

 

[EagleHawk]

They forgot how to dribble in that last 45 seconds.

Not really a big UNI fan, but still think they got hosed by the refs in that one. Guys getting forced out of bounds with no call, and then touch fouls on UNI on shots by Texas A&M. But yeah, that was bad.

UNI will go down as the biggest choke job ever think it was a record comeback for as little time was left they literally couldn't onboind the ball it was sad.

This game was pure luck guarded well,draining threes,and the bank threes maybe the luckiest comeback ever.

Hawks coming back against the Illini in 1987 down 22 on the road is my favorite comeback ever.

That was my second favorite. My favorite is still the game at MSU immediately after Street's tragic death.

The strange thing about that road win by the Hawks at MSU first game back after Streets death...most Iowa fans don't recall it after all these years - what the recall much better was the Hawkeyes beating Michigan at Carver the 2nd game back instead. I've had them argue with me that it never happened.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

I remeber both games over the Michigan schools. Have both on CD some where.

That Michigan game was probably the best atmosphere I ever experienced at Carver.
