The Moment a Comeback Felt Real

[ssckelley]

Just about all of us had given up, even when Iowa chipped away at the lead it didn't seem possible. But what was the moment it felt real for you?

For me it was the moment Hoggard stepped up to the line after having made 11 free throws in a row with that crap grin on his face. When I saw that I told my son "now watch him miss" and he did and then missed his next one in OT. That opened the door for Iowa to tie it and they did. Wish I had a screen shot of it, that grin was gone in OT.

I was at the game and didn't believe it was possible until the Sandford 3 to tie. The look on msu players faces at that time was pure defeat. They gave up.

So you must have stayed for the whole game. The fans that left must feel like crap.

No fans left. Or at least none that will admit it.

Not until that last chuck by msu to end regulation, in my head the ball hits front of rim bounces 10 feet straight up and drops for msu win. The energy Iowa had in ot no way they were losing .

We left with just under 2 minutes to go. Obviously wish we would have stayed but I’m fine with it. Listened on the radio.
