That ONE loss you will NEVER get over

2016 against Middle Tenn State. Or this year against Cuse. Or 2010 against Butler in the Final 4 (Draymond was fouled!).

I forgot the year, I think it was 2010. I know it was in Atlanta. ACC semis vs UNC. Refs have it to em as per usual.
 
So many to choose from.

Honestly it’s probably Syracuse in 2016 in the Elite 8. The UMBC debacle obviously is brutal and will be remembered longer but choking a double digit lead with 10 minutes left to make the Final Four hurt me worse.
 
Blowing a 17 point 2nd half lead to Kentucky in 98' led to a hole in my living room wall. 99' to uconn was rough. Flip a coin.

Really? I don't even remember registering the 98 loss. 99 was far, far, FAR worse... I'd say 99 and 02 were just a bit below 04 and 94.

Good one, although for me it is Arkansas 94.
Eh. I was disappointed. But the joy of Grant Hill carrying them to the title game outweighs the pain of them losing it. Poor Jeff Capel. The only good team he was a part of was that year as a freshman.

Losing to Cal the year earlier hurt worse IMO.

Our championship game appearances sting more than anything.

That actually might be the one that stung me the most... MSU got stomped by UNC in 2009, from buzzer to buzzer. Final Four game atmosphere was incredible, as it was in Detroit.

But that UNC game.... damn it. Even worse, is I could've sold that championship game ticket for like $1000+ (I paid like $250, as I was actually working for Ford at the time, and the games were at Ford Field).
 
‘98 was brutal cause I was there. Almost got to see the top two programs face off for the title, but mine choked. So, buddy and I sold the title game tickets for $40 a pop and headed home early.

‘94 in the tourney vs BC sucked cause I thought we would roll to the Final Four, maybe win another title.

I'm still confused as to what happened in 2010 (Northern Iowa) and 2011 (VCU). It just makes no sense.

I don't even really care about those two, it's still (usually) a rock fight once you get to the S16/E8/F4..

Years later, I still hate that Kansas lost the 2003 title to Syracuse.
That team, with Roy's future in the air ... just to lose ... suuuuhcks.

Coming off that championship year and we had Sheed, Stackhouse and McInnis coming in as freshman. I knew we were going to repeat.
 
I have to go 2015.

In 97 I was only 15. The game ended and I got laid immediately after so I was over that pretty quick.

In 2015 I went to the game. And I did not get laid immediately after. easy choice here.
