Where Duke, UNC 19-point collapses land in history
Duke and North Carolina suffered 19-point collapses in the NCAA Tournament, ranking sixth in the history of the tournament for largest blown leads. The losses were significant upsets, particularly for Duke, which was expected to contend for the national championship.
This year's March Madness has seen two major collapses. Duke squandered a 19-point lead against UConn, while North Carolina lost to VCU after leading by 19 points. Both games are now the sixth largest blown leads in the tournament. The largest blown lead was 25 points by Iona in 2012. Duke was expected to contend for the championship, but now faces a setback. The team earned a No. 1 seed behind freshman star Cameron Boozer, who is likely to depart for the NBA Draft.
