Best Gopher game in program history. Nice to see CBS recognize this amazing game.
1997
36. Midwest Sweet 16: No. 1 Minnesota 90, No. 4 Clemson 84 (2OT)
A battle of streaks and stalls, Clemson overcomes a 15-point deficit and finagles a tie at the end of regulation after trailing by four with 20 seconds left. Tony Christie's layup at the buzzer extends the game. The MVP here goes to Minnesota's Bobby Jackson (personal-best 36 points), while teammate Sam Jacobson puts up 29. Clemson is coached by a young Rick Barnes, and one of his better players is a young man, Merl Code, who will become known for something entirely different more than two decades later. Clemson blows a six-point lead in the final minute and a half, enabling a second OT. This regional also had UCLA 74-73 in OT over Iowa State, Cameron Dollar's layup in the closing seconds pushing UCLA along to the Elite Eight.
