On March 30, Yukon just pulled off one of the wildest comebacks in March Madness history, rallying from 19 points down to stun top-seated Duke, 73-72. Braylin Mullins drained a desperation three-pointer from 35 feet out with just 0.4 seconds on the clock, sending the Huskies to. The final four. Earlier this week, Duke built a 44-25 lead late in the first half. The biggest halftime edge ever blown by a number one seed in. The Tournament. Yukon missed 17 of their first 18-3s, but clawed back in the second half. Tying it up late before Silas de Mary Jr. hit one of two. Free throws with 10 seconds left to set up that miracle shot. Fans are calling this a gut wrenching collapse for Duke. Their second straight year ending in Harbrick after leading Houston by six in last years. Simis. The Blue Devils have now lost to Yukon three times in a row in the Big Dance, echoing classic battles from the 90s in 2004.

Terrace Reed Jr. led Yukon with 26 points, while Cameron Booser had 27 for Duke in a losing effort. The Huskies, riding an 18-game win streak in late tournament rounds, now face third-seated Illinois in Saturday's semi-final in Indianapolis, where they dominated their Lini's 77-52 last year. This buzzer-beater joins the all-time greats and Yukon eyes a third title in four years. Something not done since UCLA in the 70s. The madness rolls on. That wraps global news today.
