Not the biggest point deficit by a long shot, but one of the biggest in terms of implications was the 11 point deficit against DePaul, with 2-1/2 minutes to go, in February of 1984, when the Blue Demons were ranked #3 in the country.
Was in the Pep Band that day. Raymond McCoy missed the first shot of a 1-and-1 (shooting into the Pep Band - you’re welcome
), Schellenberg out-fought 2 Blue Demons for the rebound, and then it was “Schelly to Chapman to Young” for The Shot and the win that propelled us into the NCAAs and our next-to-last Elite Eight appearance. Without that comeback, there is no Elite Eight appearance.
