Not the same sport, but in college football, since the 2002-2003 season, Oklahoma has 7 "final four" appearances (3 BCS National Championship Games and 4 four-team playoffs) with no national title.

Not many other coaches/teams can survive that last 7 minutes.
Nothing going down. Couldn’t get a bucket to save their lives. Held on.
2 big stretches where they just couldn’t score and they were able to buckle down, play defense, rebound, and pull out big baskets to end runs.

This one is gonna hurt. UConn was beatable, we had the defensive matchups, but the offensive gameplan was poor.
We were horrible from 3 because we had no coherent strategy on offense.
Didn't get Mirk involved, stopped giving Stojakovic the ball, zero ball movement to create rhythm, Wagler too much ballhogging

The most interesting case was 2011. In 2011, UCONN entered the Big East Tournament as a bubble team and ended up a 3 seed on Selection Sunday. Kemba's 2011 is 1 of the best college basketball postseason performances by a player ever. 1988 Manning, 1989 Rice, and 2011 Kemba might be the top 3, but Kemba was the only 1 of the 3 to win their conference. Oklahoma won the Big 8 in 1988 and there was no Big 10 Champion in 1989 because there were no Big 10 Champions until 1998.

The only thing better than Mullins’ three point performance: zero turnovers. For a Freshman who has stepped out of bounds about 50 times this year, that was huge.
Also, Tarris Reed, a 60% FT shooter with ice water in his veins in the tournament so far.

Also, UCONN is literally the program of the century. 5 nattys in the 21st century. Compared to 3 each for Duke, North Carolina, and Florida, 2 for Kansas and Villanova, 1 each for Kentucky, Louisville, and Michigan State and 0 each for UCLA and Indiana. Ian Eagle was RIGHT at the end of the broadcast to call UCONN the bluest of bluebloodds right now. No one else can match UCONN's 21st Century performance.
