Can UConn’s Unstoppable Sweet 16 Streak Survive the Ultimate Final Four Showdown?
Blue bloods blow leads
The tournament hasn’t been kind to Duke coach Jon Scheyer when it comes to protecting leads.
A year after blowing a 14-point lead in the second half to Houston in the national semifinals, the Blue Devils lost to UConn after leading by 15 points at halftime and as many as 17 points in the second half.
That was the largest halftime lead ever blown by a No. 1 seed in the tournament, topping the 14 points for Virginia in a loss to Syracuse in the 2016 regional final. Before Sunday, No. 1 seeds had been 134-0 when leading by at least 15 points at halftime since seeding began in 1979.
