Boozer was left crying! Suffered a 3-point buzzer-beater and a 19-point comeback! The No.1 seed heads home.

Truly March Madness!

Following AJ Dybantsa and Darin Peterson, another draft prospect Cameron Boozer today also departed with immense regret after losing.

In the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament quarterfinals, top-seeded Duke University, despite holding a substantial 19-point lead, committed a fatal turnover in the final 10 seconds, got stolen by Connecticut University, and allowed the opponent to hit an ultra-long three-pointer for a buzzer-beater, suffering a heartbreaking 72-73 reversal.

Missing the Final Four, they became the first No.1 seed in NCAA history to lose after leading by more than 15 points at halftime.

Originally considered the biggest favorite to win the championship, they delivered a game that could serve as a textbook example of collapse, showing everyone the cruelest side of this sport.

The Blue Devils once led by 19 points at 44-25.

The team led by 15 points at halftime; previously in NCAA history, No.1 seeds under similar circumstances had a record of 134 wins and 0 losses.

Result: they became the backdrop of history...

The Final Four matchups are: Illinois University will face Connecticut University, and Michigan University and Arizona University will be opponents.

Duke's loss in this game was absurd.

Around the last 10 seconds, Duke, leading by 2 points, still possessed the ball.

Then, disaster struck...

Caden Boozer received the ball, turned, faced a double-team from Connecticut, attempted a pass which was intercepted, resulting in a fatal turnover.

With 4.1 seconds left in the final quarter, Connecticut guard Mullins recovered the ball, dribbled to the frontcourt logo area, and launched an ultra-long three-pointer over the defender to hit a quasi-buzzer-beater!

Mullins made only this one three-pointer in the entire game, shooting 1 out of 5... which amplifies the dramatic effect.

With 0.3 seconds left, Duke's final attempt missed.

Let's analyze post-game: there was an open teammate ahead; if Caden had passed to his frontcourt teammate, they would have won.

However, if he had stood still waiting for a foul, avoiding a jump-pass (a major court taboo), that might have been a better choice.

One mistake ruined a year's effort...

But, this is the game.

Duke's loss wasn't solely due to that single play.

After leading by 19 points, how they lost that advantage is something the coaching staff and all players should reflect upon.

Speaking of which, has Duke experienced this situation consecutively for two years?

Last year, led by Flagg, despite holding a maximum 14-point lead in the second half, they were hit with a 25-8 run and suffered a reversal by Houston University.

In that semifinal, "America's Son" scored 27 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 3 blocks, yet still left the college court with regret.

History is always strikingly similar.

And after the loss, Cameron Boozer cried.

Today he scored 27 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks.

His twin brother, Caden Boozer, who made the critical mistake, scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists.

Perhaps, as the saying goes: youth always carries regrets.

The next stop for both brothers is the NBA.

Especially for Cameron, elimination won't affect his draft prospects; he's firmly positioned within the top three picks.

Prepare well for the upcoming draft...

Dry the tears, gather your emotions, and carry the lessons and insights from this game to a higher stage.
