Keep fighting until the clock hits 0:00, right? That's exactly what Iowa did on Thursday night, rallying from multiple deficits against Michigan to win a 93-84 thriller in overtime. Michigan hit Iowa with haymaker after haymaker for 38 minutes and led for almost 34 minutes of the game. Iowa held the lead a few times in the first and second halves -- but only briefly before another Michigan made basket returned the lead to the Wolverines. The Michigan lead got as high as 10, but hovered around 4-7 points for much of the second half. In fact, it was 77-70 Michigan after a Hunter Dickinson putback with 2:18 to go. At that point, Michigan's win probability hit 89%, its highest point during the game.
So, naturally, that's when Iowa put together one of the most stunning late rallies in recent memory.
A sloppy sequence of steals by both teams ended with Filip Rebraca hitting a layup to cut the lead to 77-72. A Michigan turnover gave the ball right back to Iowa and Payton Sandfort promptly drained a 3 to cut the lead to 77-75 with a minute to go. But Michigan answered back with a Kobe Bufkin jumper to take a 79-75 lead with 29 seconds to go. That's when Sandfort hit what will probably be one of the plays of the season for Iowa, swishing a three-pointer and getting fouled in the process to set up an improbable four-point play exactly when Iowa needed it most. Just watch it:
