Big East Teams Losing Huge Leads

[MauraDay]

Interesting trend the past few days of BE teams losing huge leads, and then either losing the game or allowing the other team to get back in it. Looks like the only blowout lead that is safe is (hopefully) against Depaul.

See: WV/ND, MU/Nova, Nova/Lville, and UConn/Gtown

Good teams will always make a run to get back in a game.  Just gotta fight through the anxiety that comes when suddenly your big cushion is gone.  We have been on the wrong end of that trend 4 times already this year IIRC.  (FSU, NC State, WVU, Nova)

Not sure I would include WVU in that group. MU's biggest lead in that game was 7.

My mistake.  For some reason I thought we had double digit leads in all of those games. Granted the 10 pt lead was WAY early in the nova game.

Big Ten teams, too.  Purdue coughed up a double digit lead at home tonight with less than 10 minutes to play to a 1-3 Big Ten Ohio State team.

yep, but insert * behind that 1-3.  Evan Turner is back, and is trying to score enough points to make up for the games he missed.  Another note on this game, Robbie Hummel outscored the entire OSU squad in the 1st half, but still took the loss.
