Only 28.5 seconds remained, and San Diego State had just gone up 81-71.
UNLV coach Lon Kruger tried to keep his players from getting down, but he didn't truly believe his Rebels had a shot.
Even after Odartey Blankson made a shot off a rebound, the Rebels trailed by eight points with 17.8 seconds remaining. Hope was seemingly lost.
But then the Aztecs threw away the inbounds pass, and Blankson was fouled shooting a 3-pointer. Suddenly, it was a five-point game.
Most Rebels basketball fans know what happened next, UNLV coming all the way back to force overtime on Curtis Terry's off-balance 3-pointer at the buzzer.
