Northern Iowa Takes Down Rebs in an Exciting Finish


UNI G Ali Farokhmanesh hits one of his five threes, including the game winning 27 footer.

Kwadzo Ahelegbe dribbled down the clock and Ali Farokhmanesh found himself open against UNLV's trapping defense for the decisive 3-pointer with 4.9 seconds left as the Panthers ended a 20-year drought in the NCAA tournament with a 69-66 victory Thursday night in the Midwest Regional.

I've seen this UNI squad play a few times this season and they're no joke. They played a pretty tough schedule this season, and they showed it by defeating a very tough team in UNLV from a tough conference in the Mountain West. They can shoot the rock with the best of 'em.
