UConn Taunts Duke with Elite Eight Buzzer-Beater in Schedule Release

The University of Connecticut men's basketball program has playfully acknowledged a past rivalry with Duke University in its recently released nonconference schedule. The Huskies included a nod to their dramatic victory over the Blue Devils in the 2026 Elite Eight.

Braylon Mullins was the hero of that game, sinking a 35-foot buzzer-beater to secure the win for UConn. The inclusion of this highlight in the schedule release serves as a lighthearted jab at a prominent opponent, reflecting the ongoing competitive spirit and historical moments that define college basketball rivalries.
