Braylon Mullins cemented himself in March Madness history, as he had everyone jumping out of their seats in the final moments of UConn’s win over Duke.
Despite the Blue Devils holding the lead for most of the game, the Huskies made it a close game when it mattered most. And with that, Mullins delivered, knocking down a deep three-pointer with under one second remaining, giving UConn the 73-72 victory.
And with that, he sent social media into a frenzy.
” OH MY GOODNESS 😱 UCONN LEADSSSS UNBELIEVABLE,” the official March Madness account posted. One of the most unbelievable moments you will EVER see.
“This is what dreams are made of. Braylon Mullins, the kid from Indy, sends UConn to his hometown for the Final Four,” ESPN said.
“BRAYLON MULLINS ARE YOU KIDDING ME,” Polymarket Sport wrote.
“BRAYLON MULLINS ARE YOU KIDDING UCONN COMES BACK FROM 19 TO ADVANCE TO THE FINAL FOUR,” Bleacher Reporter shared.
