"Oh, he hit it."

Maybe greatest shot since Laettner (not in Duke's eyes)

Mr. Indiana Basketball, Braylon Mullins, hit the game winning shot over Duke to send UConn to the Final Four in Indianapolis, Indiana.

 

It was arguably the best game-winning shot since Duke's Christian Laettner beat Kentucky (coached by Rick Pitino) in 1992, also in the East Regional (that was at The Spectrum in Philly), what is now referred to simply as " The Shot".

 

Paybacks are a well, they're something.

 

Here are some links to some of the best clips of Mullins' shot:

Dualling bench angles

Bill Raftery & Grant Hill's reaction

(Grant Hill was the one who made the 3/4 quarter court pass to Laettner on "The Shot").

Duke's radio call

Arena reaction with no commentary

 

UConn is now playing in its third Final Four in the last four years.

 

Only 27 brackets predicted UConn to advance to the Final Four, and only 15 brackets predicted Illinois to advance to the Final Four. These two teams will play each other in the Final Four. A Championship for either could propel at least one of our brackets to First Place.

 

Even though a good number of brackets are done scoring, you still might win something.

 

But probably not.
