The Greatest Comebacks In College Basketball History...

[@FourthDecadeProject]

Worth mentioning the 2005 elite 8 game where Illinois overcame a 15 point deficit with 4 minutes left to beat Arizona

[@hardwood_yt]

One of the best ever. Will be included in part two

[@billyyank5807]

Lol yea,he has Iowa Michigan state....... I'm sure there's many he left off that are way better than this trash.

[@chrisfurrow118]

Virginia vs Louisville from 2018. Louisville was up 4 with .9 left and lost in regulation.

[@dylanbtw3374]

Bro my dad literally sent me to bed when I was 7 when it was 79-67 with 44 seconds left then I’m about to to sleep then my dad runs upstairs and says A&M just tied the game and I go downstairs to see them win one of the best days of my life at an A&M fan

[@hardwood_yt]

That’s insane lolol

[@josh18link31]

my dad and I were also watching this game he said I had to go to bed when it was over so imagine the excitement and shock we felt watching this knowing I was going to stay up😂

[@bustermc2418]

My dad was so sure A&M was going to lose so he left to go get some milk. One of the greatest and saddest moments of my life as an A&M fan

[@DBogie]

This is an exact parallel to my experience with this game

[@baruckobungoo8225]

I'll never forget when that UNI vs A&M game was playing I left the TV where me and my dad's friend were watching it.... He said "yeah this shits over" and I remember telling him that crazier things have happened... Sure enough two minutes later he calls me into the room and they're heading for OT. Gotta love March man

[@ybn_cornflakes]

I love how you said crazier things have happened when in fact something crazier than this has never happened before 😂

Biggest comebacks are also known as biggest blown leads for the opponents 😂

[@hardwood_yt]

Facts lol. The UNI game is probably more a meltdown than anything. I will say the Iowa-MSU game is the closest I’ve ever seen to a team playing almost perfect down the stretch and still losing

[@robertshonk518]

Not the MSU-Iowa game. Nothing the Spartans could do. They made almost all their free throws and Iowa just kept draining 3s.

[@hardwood_yt]

@@robertshonk518 that was my point. Michigan st played almost perfectly

[@robertshonk518]

@@hardwood_yt Oops, didn't read your whole post. You made the point first.

[@ethanleach9321]

I switched over to that Texas A&M vs. Northern Iowa game when there was about 4:00 left. I kept telling myself I should switch to a different game, but I thought I might as well watch the rest since there was so little time left. I'm glad I stuck around to watch the whole thing.

[@sixforsix485]

Great video! Keep that up you got mad potential man, ill cheer for you

[@hardwood_yt]

Aye thank you so much my guy. New upload coming soon

[@danilo-ok3xl]

What about Georgia State comeback with the father son coach player duo to win the game. That’s the greatest March madness comeback that comes to mind for me.

[@lsmit6121]

Good job recapping these finishes. If no one else has brought it up, I have another pair of rallies that come to mind. I remember Nevada had 22-point comeback to win against Cincinnati in the 2018 tournament. I also recall a game a few years ago in which Duke erased a 59-36 deficit with less than 10 minutes remaining to win against Louisville.

[@hardwood_yt]

Those are some great ones. May have to make another one

[@CadensCardCorner87]

as an A&M fan it was awesome

[@hardwood_yt]

100%. I’m a Hawkeye fan so I was cheering for UNI 😭

[@themyriad0574]

Duke/Maryland at College Park in the Jay Williams, Juan Dixon, Steve Blake, Carlos Boozer years really needs to be on here.

[@brodyl.801]

Notre Dame Louisville 2013 was a pretty good one. Ended up going 5ots as well

[@Brycejugs82]

Uni still should’ve won by 1 with that phantom call

[@hardwood_yt]

It was such a bad call lmao

[@hunterjohnson8202]

You're killing me smalls! Yeah how do you leave that out

[@joeomalley2835]

Good mention there. I forgot about that one.

[@Jamal82924]

The end of regulation for uni reminds of the Iva play that happened a couple a days ago

[@Widdermaker]

YOU feel old? I watched the TRULY greatest comeback in college basketball history on January 19, 1974: when Notre Dame defeated UCLA 71-70 to break UCLA’s 88-game winning streak. This happened despite there being NO SHOT CLOCK, NO 3-POINT LINE, AND NOTRE DAME BEING DOWN 70-59 WITH 3:32 TO GO!!! And the Bruins led ND 43-34 at half-time. Keep in mind, this was a UCLA team that from 1967 to 1973 had won more National Championships (7) than they had losses (5) during that stretch. And UCLA shot 52% that game, with Bill Walton going 12 for 14 for 24 points. How did they do it? Notre Dame out-rebounding the Bruins and forcing turnovers at the end of the game. Talk about mind-blowing! Some of us were banging our TV’s on the side thinking they went on the fritz! Hey, just because it happened almost 50 years ago doesn’t make it any less impressive. Maybe you should re-title your video, “The Greatest College Basketball Comebacks That I Can Remember.” Some of the most truly jaw-dropping things in sports happened before some of us were around - me included - hard as it is to believe. I enjoyed your video, but was awe-struck when I didn’t see that UCLA-Notre Dame basketball game classic for the ages included. Great video otherwise.

[@hardwood_yt]

This video focused on double digits leads with under a minute left. But don’t worry, we are doing a part two and this WILL be included! Adrian Dantley was on that team right? One of my dad’s favorite players of all time.

[@javiercordova2108]

I remember watching the Texas A&M game. I was a neutral that match, but I won't lie, I was rooting for Texas all the way. It was probably one of the most insane moments in sports history. But I won't lie, 2016 was a crazy year, my Villanova Wildcats took the tourney with the buzzer beater 3 in the finals. I almost broke my TV. Portugal won the 2016 Euros. My Leicester team, won their one and only premiership title, biggest underdog story in sports. Cleveland does the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history from 3-1 down, rip my hometown team. The World Series and the Super bowl were actually really insane that year too. 2016 was just a good year for sports

[@reigningzag8439]

criminally underrated!

[@hardwood_yt]

Thank you!!

[@alexc8332]

I’m a bit biased, but another one is Iowa State coming back from being down 22 to Oklahoma with 15 minutes left on Senior Night in 2015 and ended up winning 77-70. Georges Niang and Monte Morris were on that team.

[@hardwood_yt]

I’m a Hawkeye fan so I remember that game and team. Legendary

[@Ducks4Life14]

Also, UNIs Jesperson shot a half court shot with 4 seconds left in the 1st OT. I remember being so confused

[@anthonymaranca9341]

That last turnover for UNI was the worst no-call ever. Dude got bumped like 5 times before throwing it away. The refs are totally biased in those situations and get caught up in the crazy comebacks themselves

[@matthewmccormack7791]

Fatcs look how far his pivot foot moves because hes getting bumped

[@victorunger]

Yeah I hate that, a player is entitled to his own space. Using your body to move someone is not basketball. It’s not a contact sport, so why are defenders bumping during a trap and offensive players tucking the ball and dropping shoulders on drives?

[@stevencooke6451]

I think that is more likely than the conspiracy suggestion.

[@benjaminplath9269]

I was at the Iowa game. It was incredible.

[@larryhammer2915]

Double dribble by guard from UNLV before last three

[@hardwood_yt]

Lol I’ll have to rewatch it

[@PrinceTalonSabre]

This was a good recap of double digit comebacks in less than a minute. 🤔 I suppose you should try to make the intro more engaging next time, because it seems like over half the comments are asking where games are that do not fall under the category you had specified in it 😂 Speaking of comebacks, how about that gonzaga ucla sweet 16 game last night? You should cover "rollercoaster" games like this with multiple comebacks: down 10+ points, comeback to lead by 10+ points only to lose that lead. Would be 🔥 good vid bro. If you make another vid on the topic, I'll be on the lookout. 👁👁

[@hardwood_yt]

Appreciate the compliments and the feedback. It’s my 3rd video ever so I promise we will get better! But you’re right I should have been more clear. Part two coming involving the largest and most iconic comebacks of all time

[@beaudure01]

I feel like the criteria here fell right on the line to avoid dealing with Duke-Maryland.

[@hawkeyeguy1723]

That was a great game! let’s Go Hawks!!!

Go Hawks is right!

[@jarrodtrainor5179]

The New Mexico game hurt. 😢

[@hardwood_yt]

You a Lobos fan? Those threes were ridiculous

[@brianarbenz1329]

Hardwood headlines this *In College Basketball History* and every game is from the last 19 years. Do some digging. Not trying to sound preachy, but UCLA at Notre Dame in 1974 outclasses all of these. Video from that and several other comebacks during that era are easily available online. With no 3-point shot and no shot clock, comebacks in that era were an even greater accomplishment.

[@dennishover4803]

I watched a team with an 88-game win streak and an 11-point lead lose with 3:23 left! UCLA to Notre Dame. Best player in the country was on UCLA! Bill Walton. Made me sick to my stomach.

I remember when the Mavs staged an incredible comeback against him in a turning point in the NBA Finals. Maybe he shouldn't be so hard to judge. And, I'm biased, but I just think he's a prima donna and have stopped watching the NBA because of the likes of him who exist in that sport.

Definitely the best comeback of all times.

[@GabrielWan]

So many fouls on A&M that weren't called. Whenever the ref called a foul, it was on UNI. Refs definitely had money on A&M, which was very frustrating as I was cheering for UNI that tournament. Clearly one of the reasons why UNI lost. Although they could've done better with handling the ball. See the inbound on A&M (#10) at 5:37 clearly making contact with UNI #4 #3 on A&M at 5:51 CLEARLY grabbing the hip of the #20 UNI, not allowing him to catch the ball At 6:13, UNI #4 CLEARLY puts 2 arms up in the air, allowing A&M player to get the free layup, but somehow still called for a foul The MOST OBVIOUS of them ALL: at 6:27, #3 and #10 on A&M CLEARLY push the UNI player to the sideline (trying to force him out of bounds) until UNI player could barely stay up straight, they force him to make a bad throw (by committing multiple fouls not getting called in this sequence) And yes, I am still pissed at how this game was decided even 6 years later (or how many years ago). They could've been a cinderella team had they won, who knows how many more games they could've won.

@@hardwood_yt Notre Dame trailed UCLA by 11 points with 3 minutes left -- and UCLA had not lost a game in three years. Also, there was no 3-point shot or shot clock in college ball then. The Bruins had three superb ball handling guards, and they were the greatest team ever. Yet suddenly, inexplicably, they forgot how to play the game. For the next three minutes, they gave up 12 consecutive points, missing all six of their shots, making unforced turnovers. It was the most uncanny, implausible 3 minutes in sports history. In 1998, Duke led Kentucky by 17 in the second half of the regional final. It looked over and done with. Kentucky put a small lineup in and turned it around.
