I Know of Only One Other Game Like This

This is so depressing...to have a 16 point lead turn into a 16 point deficit in about 12 minutes because we cannot handle pressure.

The only game I know of that rivals this is the biggest debacle ever...back in the Manley Fieldhouse days...'75.
Up by 21 at halftime against West Virginia...and we lost the game.
AT HOME.
On national television...when that was a really big deal in the pre-cable days.

NIT game against UMass in 2008 was similar - blew a 22 point lead in 15 minutes. Also, we did the same thing to Oklahoma St. in 2003, although we didn't wait until the 2nd half to start the run.

How about the Michigan State game in the 2000 NCAAs? I think it was in the Sweet 16. We were up double figures and got run out of the building down the stretch.

Also reminded me of when we messed the bed against Seton Hall in the 1993 BET championship game, although I don't remember if we were ever up in that game.

Didn't score like the last 8 minutes. I seem to remember a game at Freedom Hall (maybe before L'Ville was in the BE) where we had a big lead early and blew it as well.?
