Watched a bunch of times just to see different reactions... I think my favorite right now is Doc Sadler's. "Yeah, I knew that'd happen..."

The BEST reaction is Marcus Smart. Especially if you saw how he looked when he fouled out. He knew it didn't matter, because they had it wrapped up.

That's what makes the win even better. The whole team thought there was no chance for Iowa State to come back with 10 seconds left and then Hilton Magic happened.

Forte's hop is pretty nice. Thomas almost gave the ball to Georges and everything would have been different.

I remember my first two years in college I was so highly disappointed. I had always heard of Hilton Magic but then I ended up seeing us drop 13 at home and only winning like 65% of our home games. Seeing the huge turn around we've had and going 31-2 over the past two regular seasons, with both losses coming from Kansas, it just blows me away. The magic is definitely real, and Coach Hoiberg brought it back to Hilton.

it was like the iowa game the magic just wouldnt let it go in

Isnt that crazy.....it really had that vibe like there's no way both these are going down.

Cant even imagine what OSU fans thought when Naz rose up again for a last second 3.

my favorite part of the Texas game is when Homan comes flying out of nowhere and crashes into all the fans
