January 21, 2008. Down by 11 points to NC in the first half. Came back and won by 9. So not the 40-point swing I was thinking of but a good 20-point one.

I was at that game, very exciting night at Gampel. Best UConn crowd I've ever had the fortune to be part of. UNC raced out to their lead before Maya ever got off the bench. Once she did, the game turned around, although several Tar Heels were playing quite well.
I'm still in shock from last year's big Tournament comebacks. Down by 6 to BYU in the first half and still trailing with only about 17 minutes left in the game, the Huskies roared back to win by 19. Then the next game in the Elite 8 game they were down by 7 to Texas A&M in the first half before coming back to win by 15.
But the biggest comeback I can remember came back in the Elite 8 game of the 2008 tourney against Rutgers when the team was down by 27-13 with less than 4 and a half minutes to go in the first half, but then surged back to win by 10.

The physicality of that game really exposed how few good refs there are in WBB.I'm still in shock from last year's big Tournament comebacks.

The only one that nearly gave me heart failure was the Virginia game in the 1995 tournament. Down by 6 or 7 at the half (first time all year) and Cavs were on a tremendous roll. A loss would have spoiled that glorious first undefeated season. I think the whole state was pretty freaked out.
