UConn's Buzzer-Beater Stuns Duke, Advances to Final Four

0:00Yukon just pulled off one of the wildest comebacks in NCAA Tournament history, stunning the number one seed duke in the Elite 8 with a, buzzer-beater 3-pointer from freshman Braylin Mullins. He drained it from 37 feet out with just 0.4 seconds left, giving the Huskies a 1-point win and punching their ticket to the final 4 in Indianapolis. This was no easy run like their back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024. Tube dominated early, building a 19-point lead and holding it for most of the game, but Yukon shipped away in the second half. It marked the first time ever a number one seed loss after leading by 15 or more at half-time in 135 tournament instances. The Blue Devils finished 35 and 3, loaded with NBA talent like Cameron Booser, but turnovers and cold-shooting down the stretch did them. Players like Terrace Reed Jr. stepped up huge with 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 blocks. Silencing doubters who called Yukon weak and injured.

And Captain Alex Caravan, nailing a clutch-wing 3 to tie it late. They capitalized on six due turnovers in the final 10 minutes, outscoring them 16 to nothing off those. Now Yukon heads to the final four battle tested in resilient, ready to grind through two more wars for another shot at glory. That's your update from Hartford News Today, powered by AI.
