I'd disagree. Choke infers losing when you had the game won.


Or perhaps, heavily favored.

1. We weren't favored to win. We were 1-1.5pt dogs.
2. Texas shot their 2nd best FG % of the year. I didn't hear MY or announcers saying we were giving them easy buckets or out of position defensively.
3. They took us out of our offensive strengths defensively by running us off the 3pt line and being very physical. The only size we have is with Cattoor and Mutts to handle getting bodied.

I'd love to hear the data/theories behind such a claim as choking.
