| The men’s college basketball Final Four was set yesterday, capped by an upset of top-ranked Duke by No. 2 Connecticut, 73-72. The Huskies, seeking their third title in four years, are joined by No. 1 seeds Michigan and Arizona and No. 3 Illinois in Saturday’s semifinals. Trailing the Blue Devils by as many as 19 points, Connecticut brought the score within five with less than two minutes to go. Leading by two with 10 seconds left, Duke guard Cayden Boozer turned the ball over attempting to pass it upcourt. The resulting scramble gave the Huskies a final chance at a long-range three-pointer—a shot nailed by freshman Braylon Mullins with 0.3 seconds on the clock. Watch the thrilling ending here. On the women’s side, No. 1 seeds UCLA and Connecticut both advanced to the Final Four yesterday. Play rounds out tonight with No. 1 Texas facing No. 2 Michigan (7 pm ET, ESPN), followed by No. 1 South Carolina taking on No. 3 TCU (9 pm ET, ESPN). |
