And you thought the Gone in 54 Seconds game was crazy...

[Tom B.]

Check this out.

New Mexico led Nevada by 14 with 1:14 left, and had the ball. Nevada came back to tie the game at the end of regulation -- then won it on a three-pointer with 2 seconds left in overtime.

Here's the sequence for the last 1:14 of regulation, which begins with New Mexico leading 90-76:

1:10 -- Nevada steal
1:05 -- Nevada three-pointer (90-79 New Mexico)
0:59.2 -- New Mexico misses two free throws
0:52.9 -- Nevada three-pointer (90-82 New Mexico)
0:49.8 -- New Mexico hits one of two free throws (91-82 New Mexico)
0:40.7 -- Nevada three-pointer (91-85 New Mexico)
0:36.6 -- New Mexico hits one of two free throws (92-85 New Mexico)
0:28.8 -- Nevada three-pointer (92-88 New Mexico)
0:26.2 -- New Mexico hits two free throws (94-88 New Mexico)
0:18.7 -- Nevada banks in a three-pointer (94-91 New Mexico)
0:16.6 -- New Mexico misses two free throws
0:08.3 -- Nevada banks in another three-pointer (94-all)
0:00.0 -- New Mexico misses jumper

Ugh, I'm trying to watch the video but there must be a video I can't find playing some dude's take on NFL officiating. I can't get it to stop!

EDIT: Here's a youtube link of the comeback for those that are also having trouble with bleacherreport.

Thanks for the post. Incredible finish. Shades of Texas A&M vs. Nor. Iowa in last year's tourney . . . except with crazy threes.

Nevada was actually down by 25 with 11 minutes left, and was down by 19 with under four minutes left. A crazy comeback indeed.

Thanks for the YouTube link. That was nuts!

Very cool. I enjoyed reading it, but it can't live up to the Gone In 60 Seconds game, just because of the sheer loathing, jealousy, and inferiority complex that Maryland had for/surrounding our program at the time.

Nevada had to hit a three on 6 straight possessions to have a chance. Totally insane.

[Bob Green]

These miracle comeback stories always give me flashbacks to 1974. :mad:

[BigWayne]

#1 was just crazy in that comeback. Interesting read on him here: http://www.rgj.com/story/sports/college/nevada/2016/12/29/marcus-marshall-making-most-second-chance-nevada/95964472/

[El_Diablo]

Some serious leg kicks there.

[chrishoke]

That was insane.

[FerryFor50]

Contrary to what some have said about the BC game, *that* is what a collapse looks like.

[FerryFor50]

Also, that last banked 3? Perfect evidence to support fouling to avoid the three.

[Blue in the Face]

I'd like to see some crowd reaction shots.

Always painful, I listened on a scratchy AM transistor radio. But with 81 and 10 in Cameron, 12 in the Mucus Museum, that memory is a bit more tolerable when conjured.

Was Dale Brown coaching New Mexico? :rolleyes:

I also give the nod to the Miracle Minute because Duke only needed ~40 seconds of the remaining 60 to erase that 10-point deficit.

I may also be biased.

Gary Williams (sweat and all). :rolleyes:

I just posted so my signature would appear in this thread, on its author's 50th birthday.

This thread title is weak. It's clearly the "gone in 54 seconds" game.

Noodles is the NM coach.

[devildeac]

Noodles is the NM coach.

I was slyly referring to this game and the comment made about Dale Brown coaching LSU at the time;):

I knew you were referring to something like that but it made me google it. Was surprised to see it was Noodles.

[Skitzle]

My highschool buddy Sam Farber did the tv play by play for this game! Super cool game to get to call.
