Final Four

Braylon Mullins shot just became the most famous shot in UConn history. And that history is full of huge shots. Think of Tate George, Kemba Walker, Rip Hamilton and Ray Allen.

Duke was up 15 at halftime and the oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag opened Duke as 4.5-point favorites over Illinois in the Final Four.

You can scratch that game off the list.

Now that the Final Four is set and the sum of the seeds is seven, here are all the current lines at BetOnline.ag.

Final Four

  • Arizona vs Michigan (-1, 158)
    • Note: Line opened as a pick’ em with a total of 158.
  • Illinois vs UConn (+2.5, 140)
    • Note: Line opened UConn +1.5 with a total of 139.5.

Sunday's Winners

It was Yaxel Lendeborg, Elliot Cadeau and Aday Mara. Morez Johnson Jr., Trey McKenney and Nimari Burnett, too. The list goes on and on.

Michigan got it done together, just like it has all season long.

“The biggest focus is playing team basketball,” Lendeborg said. “We thrive off of that.”

Lendeborg scored 27 points, Cadeau had 10 assists and the deep, unselfish Wolverines rolled into the Final Four, overwhelming Tennessee for a 95-62 victory in the NCAA Tournament on Sunday.

Johnson added 12 points for Michigan, which has 11 victories this season by at least 30 points. Mara had 11 points and blocked two shots in the Midwest Region final.

To say UConn is in another Final Four might not be such a surprise if not for the fact they were a big underdog coming into Sunday's late game against another perennial tournament favorite Duke. 

It's the second straight season to end in a huge collapse for Duke, which was the top overall seed in this year's tournament.

Braylon Mullins sank a desperation 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds left to give UConn an astonishing 73-72 victory over top-seeded Duke on Sunday, earning the Huskies a spot in the Final Four after they rallied from a 19-point first-half deficit.
