With only a half second remaining in Thursday night's game, Minnesota head coach Marlene Stollings' team stood on the brink of a 78-76 upset of No. 5 Ohio State in Minneapolis. With the game on the line, she sent her tallest player — 6'3" sophomore center Jessie Edwards — to guard Ohio State's midcourt in-bounder, 5'9" senior guard Ameryst Alston. 

It's a sensible enough play, but Ohio State head coach Kevin McGuff noticed a weakness.

Less than a half second later, 6'3" sophomore forward Alexa Hart laid in the game-tying alley-oop.


Unfortunately, the women's team fell in overtime, 90-88
