After the Gophers trailed by as many as 13 points in the second half against Penn State on Sunday, Mo Walker and Joey King led a comeback that knotted the score at 76 with 14 seconds remaining.
Head coach Richard Pitino raised his hands, imploring the crowd to get on its feet as DJ Newbill brought the ball up the court. The Penn State guard rose from the top of the key and shot over Nate Mason’s outstretched arms.
Bang.
When the scoreboard at Williams Arena read the final score of 79-76, the 12,412 fans in attendance stood with shocked looks on their faces.
