No. 2 seed Connecticut Huskies pulled off a stunning 73-72 Elite Eight upset over No. 1 overall seed Duke Blue Devils in the 2026 NCAA Tournament, erasing a 19-point deficit with a game-winning bucket at 0.4 seconds, propelled by Tarris Reed Jr.'s 20 points and Alex Karaban's 17 to reach the Final Four. Pre-game trader consensus leaned Duke due to their 35-win dominance (81.9 PPG, +18.5 margin), Caleb Foster's surprise return from a foot fracture, and Patrick Ngongba II's availability after injury concerns. UConn navigated point guard Silas Demary Jr.'s ankle issue and a gritty 67-63 Sweet 16 win over Michigan State, building on a prior championship upset of Duke for resilience in March Madness pressure.
