In college basketball yesterday, #4 Pitt played #3 Syracuse. How's this for an unlikely start between two highly-ranked teams:

"Pittsburgh coach Jamie Dixon almost couldn't believe it as the Panthers built their lead — 5-0, 11-0, 13-0 and finally to 19-0. Syracuse missed its first 10 shots and nearly half of them weren't close…But as inexplicable as the 19 consecutive points were, so was Syracuse answering with a 17-0 run — a burst in which the Orange held the Panthers scoreless for 6 minutes, 35 seconds…"

When was the last time a game started 19-0 against a #3 team, only for them to immediately come back with a 17-0 run against a #4 team to make it 19-17?

How bizarre is that ? Sounds like an equation Mike D'Antoni would be a variable of.  http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=310170221
