To start the second half, the TV broadcast announced this statistic.

Illinois is 0-10 in NCAA Tournament games when they are down 8+ at half.

Connecticut is 35-1 in NCAA Tournament games when they are up 8+ at half.

The statistics of course make sense. Teams when they are leading by 8 points at half tend to hold onto their lead. But will that be that moment like when the announcer goes and says that free throw shooter is one of the best in the country and has made their last 27 free throws right before he puts up a brick.

Only time will tell. But I had to mention it since it caught my attention.
