All signs were pointing to Duke heading to the Final Four in their Sunday night matchup against UConn.
At one point, they even held a 19-point lead!
But in the end, it was the Huskies who came out on top, thanks to some impressive comeback efforts combined with Braylon Mullins’ incredible game-winning three-point shot with less than a second remaining.
So with that, it cemented the Blue Devils in the history books, but certainly not for the right reasons. Going into this game, No. 1 seeds in the tournament were 134-0 when leading by 15+ at halftime.
Now, they are 134-1.
Cayden Boozer Speaks With Reporters Following Duke’s Loss
After the game, reporters flooded Cayden Boozer’s locker, hoping to speak with the Duke star who was responsible for the devastating turnover that gave UConn the momentum and opportunity that resulted in the win.
The emotion was clear on his face and through his words, but he still vulnerably answered the questions
“I turned the ball over,” he said (per a video shared by On SI’s Matt Giles). “I should’ve been stronger with the ball. Cost our team our season.”
According to WRAL’s Brian Murphy, Boozer also spoke about feeling like he let his brother down as this could be the last time they get to play together.
