That amazing comeback/choke depending on your point of view required that A&M recognize that the standard "foul like crazy and hope they miss" was not going to work. Usually, this recognition is so late that the team just mails it in to the end.

Kennedy (or somebody else, player or coach) sold the idea of going out and taking the game instead of hoping the Panthers missed free throws. Everybody bought in and made it happen with only 1.9 sec to spare.

UNI made a bunch of mistakes in that final 30 sec. They succumbed to the Aggie pressure and the pressure of the moment.

UNI most certainly choked. In watching the replays, it might be one of the biggest choke jobs I've seen in the tournament. That doesn't take away what TAMU did though. You still have to capitalize on another team's mistakes and TAMU did just that, so they deserve all the credit in the world.
