When B-Ball Pulls Off A Comeback Like Football....

[[email protected]]

Twice in last 7 games RU has stormed back from 25 points down.

Improbable. Yes.

Aggravating. Yes.

Exhilarating. You bet....didn't need any Starbucks in the 4th quarter...though I needed to be kept away from pets, children and my financee in the 3rd.

Here's hoping we break the 25 No Dance Zone streak THIS YEAR!

How much were we down late when we beat Nova on the Mitchell 4 point play?

Rutgers hoops beat Wisconsin at home. Much more impressive than coming from behind against 2 below average P5 football teams.

The 2 comebacks were large a function of the opponent "falling apart." Obviously a ton of credit to Flood and company for making the plays. Great wins vs. MD and Indiana, but I am not defining success by comebacks. Wins at home vs. Michaigan or the bowl win means more to me than the 2 come from behind victories.

I see no comparison in basketball. I'd rather see RU beat SHU by 4 in a hard fought battle where we pull away in the end compared to us overcoming a 20 point deficit where we play awful for 20 minutes and then win becuase of a combination of us making plays and SHU making mistakes.

The biggest comeback I can remember for RU hoops was our first year in the Big East. At Pitt, we're down 20 with about eight minutes to go. Furious comeback capped off by Damon Santiago's three at the buzzer.
