The Panthers strong inside presence completely flummoxes Iowa, who normally relies on strong play from their C and PF. Panthers big men Martinez and Bolden each get 9 blocks in this contest as they hold Iowa's big men to 8 for 37 from the field! However, Iowa stays in it partly due to relying on an outside game, going 7 of 17 from range. The Panthers tie the game with 5 seconds left on a 3 pointer. In OT, Freitas hits the winning free throw with no time left to send the Panthers to the Sweet 16!!!
