This story was updated to reflect the final score.

March makes heroes. Braylon Mullins, welcome to the pantheon.

The UConn shooter was 0-for-4 from 3-point range in the game, but the shot that made him 1-for-5 will live on in March Madness lore. Mullins took a pass from Alex Karaban at the logo and heaved it in a 73-72 game. The ball hit the twine and UConn eliminated Duke to get to the Final Four in miraculous fashion.

Duke would be unable to score with the remaining 0.4 seconds, completing UConn's shocking comeback.

The Huskies were battling back all game after trailing by as many as 19 points. It took a Duke turnover on the final possession to give the Huskies a chance, which Mullins capitalized on in spades.

"I looked up at the clock and it said five seconds," Mullins said in the on-court interview after the game. "So I tried to get the ball to someone who had made one in the game (Karaban), and he wanted to throw it back. So I mean I saw three seconds, it was the last shot. Just happy to see that [expletive] go in."

UConn will now take on Illinois in the Final Four, as it strives for its third championship in four years. And Mullins, who played high school ball in Greenfield, Indiana, will be in Indianapolis to try and do it.
