UConn Stuns Duke, Big Ten Teams Reach Final Four

UConn’s 44‑28 run in the final 20 minutes erased a 19‑point first‑half deficit to beat Duke 73‑66. The win, highlighted by Braylon Mullins’ last‑second three‑pointer, is one of the largest comebacks in NCAA Tournament history and the first time a No. 1 seed lost after leading by 15 at halftime.

Michigan and Illinois become the first Big Ten conference to send two teams to the Final Four since 2015, while Arizona returns to the championship round after a 25‑year drought. The four teams—UConn, Michigan, Illinois and Arizona—advance to Indianapolis, setting the stage for a historic championship showdown.
