Jayhawks stunned in 2nd round
Ali Farokhmanesh hit an open three with 34 seconds on the clock to sink the Kansas Jayhawks in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
In what will go down as the biggest upset in a tournament that, so far, has been chock-full of them, ninth-seeded Northern Iowa topped the top-ranked Jayhawks by a final score of 69-67.
Marcus Morris led the Jayhawks with 16 points and four rebounds and Cole Aldrich recorded a double-double, but it wasn't enough as Northern Iowa used stifling defense and clutch shooting to top Kansas.
In his last performance as a Jayhawk, Sherron Collins had an uncharacteristic five turnovers,and he and Tyshawn Taylor combined to shoot 0-for-11 from long range.
Key in the upset for the Panthers were Farokhmanesh, who led the Panthers with 16 points, and 7-foot center Jordan Eglseder, who went 2-for-3 from distance, despite having just one three on the season coming into the game.
Despite never leading after taking a 2-0 advantage, the Jayhawks made a furious late rally, coming within a point on a Collins lay-up with 43 seconds to go. Then Farokhmanesh hit the three that shocked the world and the Jayhawks, who were the presumptive favorites to win the title, became the first one seed to fall in the second round since 2004.
