Never give up.

In one of the most remarkable upsets in March Madness yet, Northern Iowa advanced past Texas Friday night with an incredible buzzer-beater.

Tied at 72 points with just a little over two seconds left, Paul Jesperson lobbed the ball from half court, sinking it as the buzzer sounded. 

Northern Iowa will take on the Texas A&M Aggies on Sunday.
