Iranian-American Ali Farokhmanesh connects 5-6 3 pointers to help UNi defeat UNLV!

Cool. I had no idea we had another Iranian-American in NCAA. I thought Arsalan Kazemi was the only one. I will be rooting for UNI.

Farokhmanesh's reaction after his last-minute 3 said it all. His fearless 3 with 30 seconds left on the shot clock was the key shot in UNI's upset of KU.

I saw his last second shot. He went from a total unknown to a pretty well-known character in these games. Now that Maryland is out I will be rooting for them. Also, with the injury to the best player of Michigan state, they should have a better chance.
