We continue our countdown of the most thrilling finishes in NCAA tournament history, checking in today with number eight. And while this newest entry is “posting”, I’ll already be two hours north of Austin on I-35. Isn’t technology great?

For this buzzer-beater we head back to the 2006 tournament and a 14/3 match-up. The Iowa Hawkeyes were the team sitting on the top line, while the Northwestern State Demons were playing far, far from home after winning the Southland Conference’s auto-bid. Although NSU was trailing by as many as 17 points in the second half, they were down only two with seconds left in the game. A missed Iowa free throw left the score at 63-61, and the ensuing rebound gave the Demons the final possession.

That’s where our video begins today, which is not the usual CBS footage, but rather another angle accompanied by the radio announcers from Northwestern State. This stuff truly gives me chills. It’s what March is all about.

Bonus points to this video for the awesomely bad Demon mascot and the Iowa Hawkeye pulling an Adam Morrison 80 feet from his basket.
