The events Wednesday night at McLeod Center weren’t limited to just Northern Iowa’s 71-63 win over Illinois State. A halftime promotion, a halfcourt shot and some controversial time-keeping led to confusion and more in the ensuing hours.
We’ll set the scene.
Northern Iowa student Dalton Hinsch had to hit a layup, a free throw, a 3-pointer and a halfcourt shot within a certain timeframe — and if he did, $10,000 was on the other side. After completing the first three, Hinsch dashed back to halfcourt and let it fly as the McLeod Center emcee counted down.
