Unreal choke job

Wow.

Never bet on Alford.

Did Alford choke? Or did Coach Grant and Dayton just out coach and out play Nevada down the stretch?
It’s fun to pick on Steve but Dayton is no slouch program and were favored.

In 28 years, Steve has never made it past the Sweet 16 as a coach. In 4 years as an IU player, he did it 2 times. So, probably a bit of both.

Nevada turnovers did them in.

He choked. They started to press and Steve held back. Instead of pushing.
