I was AT the game where this almost happened:
2006 - #1 UCONN vs. #16 Albany, Wachovia Center, Philadelphia, PA
This was the UCONN team that was LOADED....Marcus Williams, Rudy Gay, Josh Boone....they had been #1 all year, only lost two games during the regular season, lost to Syracuse in overtime in the Big East Tourney and STILL got the #1 seed....
Albany led THE ENTIRE DAMN GAME, then folded in the final 2-3 minutes and lost by 13.
At one point, they had a 12-point lead over UCONN....the whole place was going CRAZY, cause we thought we was about to witness history.
