 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota's Blake Hoffarber caught a long pass with 1.5 seconds left Friday night, spun away from a defender and hit a 14-foot left-handed shot at the buzzer to upset No. 22 Indiana 59-58 in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals.
The improbable play was reminiscent of Christian Laettner's final shot against Kentucky in the NCAA tournament and set off a wild celebration on the baseline, where teammates mobbed Hoffarber before the replay review confirmed it was good.
Just seconds earlier, it appeared sixth-seeded Minnesota was about to be eliminated on another improbable sequence.
