Overview
- UConn freshman Braylon Mullins hit a near-40-foot three with under a second left Sunday to stun top-seeded Duke 73-72 in the Elite Eight at Capital One Arena.
- The winning look came after Duke freshman Cayden Boozer lost the ball near midcourt with about 10 seconds remaining.
- Boozer tearfully told reporters he turned it over and let his team down, while coach Jon Scheyer said the defeat came from a series of second-half mistakes.
- Duke finished with 13 turnovers, including eight after halftime, as UConn survived a night that began 1-for-18 from three before closing 4-of-5.
- The victory sends UConn to its third Final Four in four seasons to face Illinois in Indianapolis, in a finish that left CBS analysts Bill Raftery and Grant Hill visibly stunned.
