[Briancuse]

I can't think of any, didn't Illinois have a pretty good one against Arizona.

 

[tbouks02]

Kentucky/Duke in 1998 comes to mind as well.

 

[Shawn91111]

Louisville had a huge comeback against WV in 05'. Down 20 or more at one point

The matching thecUNC presser . . . them. They try think they are already the winners.

That one was crazy, because Illinois was down by 15 with 4 and change left. This one when down 15 at around 9 minutes, I was just hoping that we could cut it down to around 5 points down the stretch to have a chance at least similar to the Gonzaga game. Simply amazing that we were leading and took control of the game with about 5 minutes left.

Illinois/Arizona 2005 was the first I thought of.

I was hoping it was down to 10 at half time, second half I wanted in right where you are. Get it to 10 asap then if we could get it down to 5 with 4-5 minutes to go and thought we could take it.

What they were able to do is above and beyond what was possible and it's not a disrespect to our talent it's acknowledging how good UVA is. 0 turnovers in the second half, no idea the last time that happened for us but wow, that's impressive.

Zero turnovers is incredible and 47 points in the 2nd half against that defense is absolutely bonkers!

 

[Czar]

Illinois Arizona in a landslide.

 

[jdubs30]

Difference in this comeback was doing it against UVA. a team that burns the shotclock and doesn't turn the ball over. it's one thing to do it against a team that runs up and down -- but UVA is an extremely well coached team that doesn't give away possessions. Legendary run.
