I'd guess the latter. I'll bet OR has put us in larger halftime deficits in some of our losses in the last 4 years.



ETA: Confirmed. Down 26-43 at the half in our Pac-12 Tournament loss to OR last year.

---

Is 26 points the worst half we played all year?



Is 52 points the best half we played all year?

Not sure about the worst half although we didn't have that bad a half in either of our losses.



As for best half, in terms of total points scored, no. We've had 61 and 54-point halves against Pacific and UNLV.



In terms of most impressive half—52 points against Louisville with the Final Four on the line? I'd say so!!

Considering the quality of opponent, definitely the best half we've played.  We outscored UCLA 43-20 in the first half of the Pac-12 championship game, and OSU 46-22 in the second half of the semi-finals.  41-8 in the second half against Cal was definitely our best defensive effort, but Cal sucked, and 44-20 in the first half against Arizona at Arizona was pretty good, as was 49-26 in the first half against Missouri State.  But 52-25 in the second half against a team that at one point was the top-ranked team in the country was by far the best.
