Paul Jesperson sinks Texas with halfcourt shot at buzzer

Paul Jesperson

Northern Iowa has done it again!

The Panthers took out Texas on a half-court buzzer-beater by Paul Jesperson to end their first-round game against the Longhorns in the NCAA Tournament on Friday. It was part of a 14-point game for Jesperson, who made four 3-pointers in the contest.

None of his shots were bigger than this one:

UNI was up 72-70 after making 1-of-2 free throws, giving the ball back to Texas with around 11 seconds left. The Longhorns drove and tied the game, leaving UNI with 2.7 seconds left. Jesperson delivered the magic!

Here’s a cool look at the shot from the crowd:
