The Duke Blue Devils were on the wrong side of NCAA history with their shocking loss to UConn.
They were seconds away from securing a spot in the Final Four. Then, Cayden Boozer’s costly turnover led to one of the most epic game-winners in March Madness history.
Down two, Braylon Mullins stole the ball and knocked down a three to seal a 19-point comeback. It was the first time in 135 occasions that a No. 1 seed blew a 15+ point first-half lead.
That’s why, following the loss, a teary-eyed Cayden Boozer took the blame for the miscue, stating that he failed Cameron, his twin brother, who was also a freshman for the Blue Devils.
Cayden Boozer says he let his brother down
“It’s been a special year, being able to do what we did this year is really special,” Cayden Boozer said in the locker room, per reporter Brian Murphy. “This is the last time we were able to choose this, so I was never going to pass that up. I just feel like I let him down.”
