UConn continues its dominance in the NCAA tournament, winning its 18th straight game in the Sweet 16 or later by overcoming a 19-point deficit to defeat Duke 73-72 with a last-second 3-pointer. The Huskies have not lost a tournament game beyond the opening weekend since 2009 and have won four championships in nine tournament appearances since then. As the Final Four features powerhouse teams, UConn faces off against top-ranked Arizona, Michigan, and Illinois, all of which have cruised through the tournament. Duke’s recent collapse marks a historic moment, as they became the first No. 1 seed to lose after leading by at least 15 points at halftime.
