The main factor in choking is thar you did not play up to your potential due to the pressure of the situation causing you to lose…
Like the Coogs turning the ball over 4 times in a row at the end of the championship game…
Y’all know I LOVED that team… but they choked at the end. Stilla really great team and season.
Arguing nonstop about our own personal definitions and repeating the same thing over and over.
Weird
Yeah I accept that definition, chokes are in moments and short series. You can’t “choke” a whole game that’s the other team being better than you that game.
On Florida I’ll always contend that the real key was the Florida coach brilliantly played the refs in the second half by telling his guys to go foul crazy and force the refs to wildly over correct.
Absolutely! We have a championship program would love to win a championship but our season is not a bust if we do not.
Did you forget Miami in the 2023 tournament?
Or when Tech lost their best player and head coach in the first few minutes of the game last season.
The Tech game wasn’t a “choke”.
If all you’ve got is a couple disappointing losses in the last five years to complain about then you’re insanely blessed as a sports fan.
Neither was Miami. They were just the better team that day.
We were favored by 9.5 with them having Toppin and their head coach.
We don’t need to over complicate it
Wow a 1 point loss in OT to a top 10 team. What a choke! /s
It was a weird game where they couldn’t miss from 3pt early and where the refs were calling pretty much any contact a foul. In case you forgot we avenged that loss by going into their building a beating them by 8.
So, that guarantees that we would win by 9.5? They lost their coach and player, which fired up their team. Meanwhile, I believe the team had a lot of distractions that night with a jersey retirement, new blue jersey intro and a packed and rowdy building that was buzzing more than it had during that season. The refs seemed &zoom facor them most of the game too, probably to make up for their ejections. And hey still only won by one in overtime.
Tech shot lights out that game making high level contested shots all game and got the benefit of the officials for the last 38 min of the game. Even with that we still had a chance to take the game if not for an untimely miss at the FT line handed TT the game.
Yeah Tech played way over their heads that game, it happens. We were fortunate to be in a position to “choke” on the FT’s.
And again acting Miami was a choke. They beat us the entire game, that’s not a choke. That’s a team beating you.
We were the #1 seed and 8.5 point favorites and we had all our guys healthy.
Not a choke and not even a notable upset as far as the tourney is concerned. Also for what it’s worth, I’m pretty sure Sasser and Shead were let 100% towards the end of that season.
It was an upset not a choke. And tbh not really that big of an upset. After all they were the ACC regular season champs. Not like they were some Cinderella.
Upset is the word our vocab challenged friend is looking for.
Depending on the betting lines as a means to refer to teams as choking says all I need to know about your knowledge.
They shot lights out and just beat us that day
Can’t really call beating a team of 6 guys “avenging” a loss. McCasland is the one coach in the country I would take over Kelvin.
