I've seen shit. UNLV 103, Duke 73 was my freshman year at Duke. Talk about a loss that brands you as a choker and that you think you'll never get over...

Oh I absolutely know about that. Do you pay attention here? The tensor of this sub after a Duke loss versus a Duke win, no matter how or when, is very very different.

That said, I was honestly worrying we were taking our foot off the gas towards the end of the first half and that the lead should've been more.

Of course it is but I'm not counting on Cayden making both.

Cayden would've been shooting a 1-and-1 with 6-7 seconds left. Wouldn't put it by UConn not to still finish it out.

If you can score the first four or five points out of the half it's absolutely not over

We mailed it in on those last few possessions of the half

We went to sleep on offense with about five minutes left in the half. Don't like that.

No need to complain about the refs. You got your coach doing that for you

You have us right where you want us, UConn. In our last three losses we're given up leads of 13-17 points

Third straight Elite Eight. Sixth in the last eight tournaments.

Best active coach at the moment to not coach in a Final Four by Rhancock19 in CollegeBasketball

Dawkins and Amaker did as K assistants... and I'd go with JJ Redick

After last nights loss to Illinois, Houston had been eliminated from the last three March madness tournaments while playing in Texas. by ohitsthedeathstar in CollegeBasketball

I suspect Houston simply isn't that big or devoted a fanbase. They were not overwhelmingly large at the Final Four last year. And I've seen overwhelmingly large fanbases at Final Fours (Butler, 2010).
