Duke Blows 19-Point Lead, UConn Wins With Jaw-Dropping Final Shot

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss Duke's loss to UConn in the Elite Eight.

The game between the Duke Blue Devils men's basketball and the UConn Huskies men's basketball turned into one of the wildest finishes of the NCAA March Madness. Duke controlled most of the game and built a lead as large as 19 points, looking firmly in command well into the second half. However, UConn mounted a steady comeback, taking advantage of turnovers and missed opportunities to chip away at the deficit. In the final seconds, Duke still held a narrow lead but turned the ball over, giving UConn one last chance. The Huskies pushed the ball up the court, and Braylon Mullins hit a deep, buzzer-beating shot with just 0.4 seconds left to give UConn a stunning 73-72 victory. Tarris Reed Jr. led UConn with 26 points, while Cameron Boozer scored 27 for Duke. The win sends UConn to the Final Four, while Duke’s season ends in heartbreaking fashion after a game they had largely controlled. Who is at fault for Duke? How can Duke stop this pattern?
