It was Northern Iowa's Anthony James who nailed the big shot in the Panthers' upset victory over Creighton on Saturday afternoon.
The Blue Jays were upset on the road, dropping the contest in the wildest of finishes.
James, the Panthers' leading scorer, won the game in thrilling fashion, nailing a step back three as the buzzer sounded.
Trailing by three with under ten seconds remaining, Creighton's Antoine Young buried a game-tying shot from the top of the key, effectively knotting the score at 62 apiece.
With one timeout remaining, Northern Iowa had coach Ben Jacobson let his players go, and it was James who got the ball and buried the game-winner.
Northern Iowa (16-9, 6-7) shocked Creighton (21-3, 11-2), handing the Blue Jays just their second loss in conference play this year.
