Two minutes plus is a long time in a basketball game....especially since the advent of the three point shot, which has made any lead less than 10-12 points marginally safe at best. Mizzou had a ten point lead at Texas and almost blew it. It happens, it is part of what makes college bball great...the three point shot can bring teams back very, very quickly.

I think it would have been a nine point lead with under two minutes left. It's very uncommon for teams to come back from that kind of deficit. In fact, at that point, it can often come down to fouling and hoping the other team can miss FTs.
