UConn rallies, stuns Duke on last-second 3 to reach Final Four

DURHAM, N.C. -- Thirty-six years after Christian Laettner hit a buzzer-beater to beat UConn in the Elite Eight and send Duketo the men's Final Four, the Huskies got their revenge.

UConn freshman Braylon Mullins stole the ball and buried a 3-pointer from 35 feet to cap a remarkable 19-point comeback and give the Huskies a 73-72 win.

They advance to the Final Four for the third time in four years.

UConn trailed by as many as 19 points in the first half, and Duke still led by double digits with just over six minutes left. ButTarris Reed Jr.'s 26 points kept the Huskies close and a flurry of 3-pointers in the final four minutes pushed UConn over the top.

In what was likely his final college game, Naismith Player of the Year front-runner Cameron Boozer had 27 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.
