Iowa captured all of college basketball's attention Saturday afternoon by erasing an 11-point deficit with a minute remaining, then toppling Michigan State 112-106 in overtime for one of the greatest comebacks in program history.

The Hawkeyes hit five 3-pointers in the final 40 seconds of regulation, including an off-balance, contested heave from Connor McCaffery and a game-tying swish from Payton Sandfort in the final seconds.
