Terribly under rated sport in the states and ya, that's a huge choke job.Not many of you watch soccer I’m sure but PSG blew a 4-0 first leg (match) lead to Barcelona a few years ago. Lost 6-1 on the return leg.
06 Elite 8 vs George Mason
If we hadn't stunk up the joint all tournament long, I'd agree. It was a good choke for sure, but I don't know how epic it was in that context.
I don’t care how you look at it, we had NO business losing to George Mason, let alone with a Final Four on the line.
A dozen? With a Final Four on the line?It was horrible as a fan but you can find a dozen similar scale "chokes" in college hoops without even trying. You're 2 golf comments were far more memorable.
To be fair gmason beat some very good teams to get to the final four. If I recall MSU, UNC and, I don't remember the third but I think it was another good team. It was a devasting loss but gmason deserves tons of respect, that was a very good team, under rated. They were 27-8 and the few P5 teams they played in the regular season were all close games.A dozen? With a Final Four on the line?
Only 4 11-seeds have ever made the Final 4.
LSU - No explanation required
George Mason - 2 NCAAT appearances since
VCU - Sustained a reasonable amount of success
Loyola Chicago - Beat a 6, 3, 7, and 9 to reach the F4
We screwed the ultimate pooch.
