All those were great come-backs. I voted for the MU game but was at the game yesterday and the first 5-6 minutes of the 2nd half was a thing of beauty. Both the Baylor players and coaches were completely discombobulated.

I hear ya" Hoshi, I replay the WVU last few minutes during commercial breaks, but the National Championship was such a big stage to me.

What a lovely problem to have. How many other fans have such a list?

For pure scope of the comeback, Baylor Saturday — down 17 at one point in H1, win going away by 16 in regulation, a 33 point swing, out scoring the opponent 55-26 in H2— has to be the best.

FEB 14 2017: 2:58 left down 14 against WVU and winning in OT is probably the greatest for sheer “never say die” — even more so than the 9 point deficit overcome in the last 2 minutes of the 2008 title game.

But for greatest comeback ever, context must be considered.

There’s Saturday, and there’s the 2012 win over mOO to send the pikers packing, and FEB 2017 v WVU, and then there are the NC games. And as great as all the others are, even 2008, they can never compare to the NC game v UNC simply because that 16 point deficit game was on the biggest stage of all for college hoops.

Not even close. Last year's NC is all time. Maybe the better question is which one is 2nd best (and to that I might vote the 08 championship).

Man...how did I forget 2008???? That said, 2008 NC was like the WVU game...an amazing couple of minutes at the end and a domination OT. Not really a complete half.

2022 NC was amazing, but once we caught up it stayed a game to the end. Same with the Misery game.

What impressed me about the Baylor game was (1) the quality of the opponent, (2) it was at the Phog so the energy was through the roof, and (3) we never let off the gas and put it away pretty early. A true complete dominating half. Miami (2022 Elite

, another one I forgot, was very similar in that way....and obviously a bigger stage as it was for the F4.
