Texas A&M rides miracle finish to 2OT win over Northern Iowa

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Friday, Northern Iowa won its NCAA tournament opener with a miracle.

Sunday, Texas A&M eliminated the Panthers with a miracle of its own.

The Aggies went on a stunning 14-2 run in the final 35 seconds to send the game into overtime, then won it in double overtime 92-88 to advance to the Sweet 16 in the most improbable of fashions.

After a pair of Jeremy Morgan free throws, Northern Iowa led 69-57 and appeared on its way to a second upset in the Oklahoma City Regional. Two days earlier, the 11th-seeded Panthers beat Texas on Paul Jesperson's buzzer-beating shot from half court.
