A video that is going viral captured Dan Hurley's mom's epic reaction to her son's team's game-winner against Duke.
UConn, the No. 2 seed in the East Region, stunned No. 1 seed Duke, with a 19-point comeback in the Elite Eight. UConn drilled a game-winning 3-pointer with less than one second remaining, after Cayden Boozer's turnover led to a Braylon Mullins shot attempt.
"I knew it was a deep shot. I didn't realize how far away he was until – until I watched the replay of it, but it was kind of tracking in line," Hurley said in an interview with "CBS Mornings" on Monday. "Braylon is such a special shooter."
Hurley and UConn are off to the Final Four.
"The locker room was … lively, you know, there was some frustration," he said. "There was a lot of belief, and, you know, the team's been through a lot this year. It's been through a lot of injuries. We have had a lot of close games and we really … leaned on our resiliency and fortitude, and our habits of preparation and how hard we practiced."
Meanwhile, a video showed Hurley's mom, Christine, reacting to the game-winner. It was pretty awesome.

Hurley is still amazed by what happened
Hurley still can't believe it.
"It was the perfect situation where he got the ball in rhythm from a distance that was, like, right at the edge of his range as a shooter and he had no time to think about it," Hurley said of Mullins. "He was able to just let it go."
UConn will take on Illinois in the Final Four on Saturday night.
