What a sad way for the season to end for the Duke Blue Devils. On a last second shot that should have never happened. There was no reason for the Duke players to make any pass once they got the pass in from out of bounds following the made free throw. But pass they did. Then a turnover. A steal. A pass ahead. Then a pass back to a freshman named Braylon Mullins, who launched a jump shot from the logo. The University of Connecticut Huskies are headed to college basketball’s NCAA Final Four Championship after a dramatic 73-72 victory.
Now finally that Christian Laettner last second shot for Duke over Kentucky so many years ago can be put to rest. This was the greatest shot in NCAA basketball history.
Now for Duke being in the Final Four? Yeah right. They panicked in the clutch.
