The Huskies staged one of the biggest comebacks in tournament history, outscoring Duke 44‑28 in the second half to win 71‑66. The 19‑point deficit at halftime was erased after a 7‑0 run, and a clutch 3‑pointer by Braylon Mullins sealed the victory.
Michigan and Illinois secured Final Four spots, marking the first time the Big Ten has had two teams in the semifinals since 2015. Arizona also reached the Elite Eight, ending a 25‑year drought and setting the stage for a potential title run.
