UConn Stuns Duke, Big Ten Teams Reach Final Four

In a stunning Elite Eight win, the Huskies erased a 19‑point deficit against the Blue Devils, outscoring them 44‑28 in the final 20 minutes and clinching a 3rd Final Four appearance in four seasons. A 7‑0 run in the fourth quarter and a last‑second 3‑pointer by Braylon Mullins sealed the victory.

The Big Ten now has two teams in the Final Four for the first time since 2015, with Michigan and Illinois joining Arizona. The conference’s four teams in the Elite Eight set a record, and Arizona’s appearance ends a long drought, giving the league a 50‑percent shot at the title.
