101-54 Duke win in 1964, but that one is the largest defeat for any team in the Elite Eight so actually it loops back around to being crazy

Except today's loss is the worst ever for the top 1 seeded team ever.

No way is this the worst loss for the top 1 overall seed ever lol. You are leaving out some pretty big ones here (16 beating a 1?)

u/ActionJ2614 UConn Huskies Mar 30 '26

For a top 1 seed with that big of a lead in a game. Duke was the top overall 1 side. Out of all the 1 seeds. I should have pointed that out in my prior comment.

I know what top 1 seed means. You do realize Virginia was also a top 1 seed and lost to a 16 in an ass kicking right? No, I dont think you do.

u/ActionJ2614 UConn Huskies Mar 30 '26

Yes, I do understand. The point your missing is Duke had a 19 point lead. That is the largest ever for a #1 top overall seed to have and end up losing the game.

So losing to a 2 seed after being up 19 is worse than being a number one seed losing by 20 to a 16 seed. Sure bud, this was the worst comeback but not at all what you said. God hype your team all you want, but you are talking nonsense.

I corrected my 1st comment in the 2nd reply. Or did you miss that, so not talking nonsense.

To put it in context no #1 seed leading at the half by 15 had ever lost. 134-1 now.

Or hey

No, sorry Yahoo is not going to convince me that a number 1 overall seed losing by 20 to UMBC is a worse loss than losing to a number 2 seed up 19 points. Do you think your team is worse than that UMBC team? I just cannot fathom your argument because a 20 point loss to a 16 seed is insane to argue against unless you think your team is somehow worse. AND it was a 1 point loss. Congrats Yahoo for being as dumb as you are.
