[QUOTE="JFGsCoffeeMug, post: 1562079, member: 74571"] Compare the win probability charts for the two games on ESPN. The idea we were in it with Baylor was an illusion. Giorgi was playing out of his mind just to keep it close. Once Baylor built a cushion, we had no ability to chip away at it. They were ruthless in maintaining the advantage they had gained and there was essentially no opportunity for us to mount a comeback. In the Duke game, we built our advantage early on, but Duke played us even the rest of the way. Their problem was that we gave them basically no opportunity to chip away at our cushion. We methodically snuffed out any opportunity for a comeback. Different timings, but same concept. [/QUOTE]
