Words used to describe Texas A&M’s comeback win last night over Northern Iowa: Stunning, jaw-dropping, unbelievable, impossible. And if you’re a stats nerd, that’s exactly what it was: impossible.
So naturally, the Internet reacted exploded, and we thought the morning after would be a perfect time to bask in all of it.
Stage 1: It’s Over
Down goes my longshot Final Four pick – and President Obama’s. Down goes A&M. Northern Iowa is so much better than I thought. March Badness.

Northern Iowa. Sharpie.

Texas A&M loss to N.Iowa underscores how bad the seeding error was and caps a disastrous season for the SEC.

Northern Iowa advances to face Oklahoma in Anaheim. Texas A&M was a popular pick for Final Four. SEC with 0 teams in Sweet 16.

WOW!! Texas A&M was down 11 with 38 seconds left and just tied it with 1.9 seconds to go against Northern Iowa.

Texas A + M just made the greatest no f-ing way comeback ever. Like a bad sports movie ending. Now TruTv has to bump Alligator Love for OT.

“14-2 run in final :33″

Stage 6: #Analysis
Win probability formulas can’t decide if UNI had a 99.9 or 100.0 percent chance at winning: https://t.co/lgdybAXkUi pic.twitter.com/5FMOS0cLcw

If you bet $5 on Texas A&M with 30 seconds to play, the payout was 3.7 billion dollars
— Burnt Orange Nation (@BON_SBNation) March 21, 2016
Texas A&M made 6 FGs in the final 35 seconds of regulation.
Texas A&M made 6 FGs in the 1st half.
— Matt Schick (@ESPN_Schick) March 21, 2016
Another interesting factor in Texas A&M’s comeback…
They did not have to foul once in the last 35 seconds of the game.
