We had a 11-point lead against Pitt with less than a minute to go in the Dome ... on 2/29/08. And we lost in regulation. I was "watching" the game on my phone ... and could not believe what was happening.
MBB : CRUSHED: Syracuse blows 11-point lead in waning minutes to lose crucial game
It was a brutal loss, however, it was three minutes plus, not under 1 minute left when SU gave it away.
Directly from the article:
When you lose a game like this, up 11 with three minutes to go, it hurts so bad that you can’t even explain it,’ point guard Jonny Flynn added.
SU built an 11-point advantage in the second half, prompting Pittsburgh head coach Jamie Dixon to call a timeout with 3:47 left.
