For those who like to keep track of such things, Drexel beat Delaware 84-82 last night, not a noteworthy result in and of itself, but Drexel trailed 53-19 at one point in the first half, so the 34-point comeback is the biggest deficit overcome in NCAA D1 history. The former record was 32 point when Duke beat Tulane in 1950.
Don't look for either Drexel or Delaware to be around in the post-season, however. Even with the win, Drexel is 12-18 for the season, while Delaware drops to 12-18 as well.

Re: Largest Comeback in NCAA Basketball History
A great comeback but it still doesn't, in my opinion, beat my Aggies' comeback from being 12 points down with only 44 seconds left to force OT in the NCAA tournament. It is the largest final minute comeback in NCAA history. The Aggies went on to win in double-OT.silverscreenselect wrote:For those who like to keep track of such things, Drexel beat Delaware 84-82 last night, not a noteworthy result in and of itself, but Drexel trailed 53-19 at one point in the first half, so the 34-point comeback is the biggest deficit overcome in NCAA D1 history.
