Overview
- UConn advanced Sunday with a 73-72 win over Duke after freshman Braylon Mullins drilled a long three with under a second remaining.
- The winning play began when Silas Demary Jr. deflected Cayden Boozer’s midcourt pass, Alex Karaban touched it ahead, and Mullins rose from near the logo.
- The Huskies erased a 19-point first-half deficit and won despite shooting 5-for-23 from deep after a 1-for-18 start.
- Next up, UConn faces Illinois at 6:09 p.m. ET on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium, with Arizona meeting Michigan in the later semifinal.
- The victory continues Dan Hurley’s run of deep March success, marking UConn’s third Final Four in four years with a shot at a third national title in that span.
