Thought elicat might enjoy reliving this moment. It was the 2nd most unlikely comeback of the 2011 season, according to Pomeroy.
2) Presbyterian at Cincinnati, 11/19/11
The situation: Cincinnati 47-32, with possession, 9:41 left. (0.37%)
The result: Presbyterian, 56-54.
Comments: The Blue Hose would eventually go 8-10 in the Big South and were given a 5% shot to win at the outset. Facing a 15-point deficit with less than ten minutes to go, their chances were considerably worse. After going 13-of-33 from the field to this point, they’d hit 8 of their last 11. The decisive points came on a Khalid Mutakabbir three-pointer with eight seconds left. History supports that the chances of punches being thrown in the Crosstown Shootout were higher than Presbyterian pulling this off.
Here is his full list of the 17 games last season where the winning team had less than a one-percent chance of being victorious at some point in the game.
Love this kind of stuff.
