Cayden Boozer: 'Going to replay' turnover for rest of my life

Duke was on the wrong end of an all-time NCAA Tournament moment Sunday as Braylon Mullins drilled a game-winning three to give UConn a stunning 73-72 comeback victory in the Elite Eight.

The stage was set for Mullins on a turnover by Blue Devils freshman Cayden Boozer, who made an ill-advised pass after being swarmed by a pair of Huskies players.

"I'm going to replay that for the rest of my life," Boozer told reporters after the game, per Sports Illustrated's Bryan Fischer.

Duke coach Jon Scheyer also commented on the crucial late-game sequence that ultimately ended their season.

"We just have to secure (the ball), right? We got it. They had to foul. I was ready for a timeout and we just got to hold on," Scheyer said, per The Field of 68.

Duke led UConn for all but 94 seconds of the East Region final. The Huskies' only other lead came 21 seconds into the contest, when Tarris Reed Jr. made a pair of free throws to put his team up 2-0.

The Blue Devils took control of the match from there, leading by as many as 19 points and taking a 44-29 advantage into halftime.

Cayden and his twin brother, Cameron, combined for 27 points in the first half, nearly outscoring UConn by themselves.

However, the Huskies slowly chipped away at the deficit before finally surging ahead with 0.4 seconds left on Mullins' miraculous shot.

Duke's collapse marked the first time in 135 NCAA Tournament games that a No. 1 seed has blown a halftime lead of 15 points or more.

However, Scheyer was unwilling to pin the heartbreaking defeat solely on Cayden's miscue.

"It's easy to look at that play. I look at every play that happened, especially in that second half," Scheyer said. "This is not about one play. It's about every play that put us in that position. And that's what you don't want to do, where one play something can happen."
