Duke, the top overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, was shocked by UConn in the Elite Eight on Sunday. Duke fell to UConn on a game-winning 3-pointer by Huskies' freshman Braylon Mullins, who drilled the shot with less than one second remaining.

"I don't have the words," Duke head coach Jon Scheyer said.

Duke star Cameron Boozer added: “I’m hurting right now. We’re all hurting.”
