You might say UConn students cannot stop howling after the Huskies' jaw-dropping buzzer-beater against Duke catapulted them to the Final Four. The stunning comeback win over the NCAA Tournament's top-seeded Blue Devils on Sunday night meant both the UConn men's and women's teams will play in the national semifinals.
'I don't even think I was breathing at that moment. I had to tell myself breathe,' UConn Stamford student Alba Rosario-Medina said. 'I watched that shot on my phone over and over for God knows how many hours at this point,' student Jack Jurgielewicz said. 'Everybody cannot stop talking about it,' student Hellen Oliva said. 'Water everywhere, pizza flying. It was crazy'Sophomore Sharya Shahal was at the Colony Grill watching the Huskies make history with a 19-point rally that culminated with the buzzer beater. 'Everyone stood up, water everywhere, pizza flying. It was crazy,' he said. 'The was no doubt in my mind that we weren't gonna win that game,' student Ryan Stern said. 'That's what March Madness is all about'UConn coach Dan Hurley told Gayle King he had no doubt, either. 'Braylon is such a special shooter. That's what March Madness is all about,' Hurley said. 'The victory was insane. I could feel it throughout my room, throughout Husky nation,' Rosario-Medina said. 'I can't wait to see the Final Four.' The UConn men play Illinois on Saturday. Tip off is at 6:09 p.m. The women play in the national semifinal on Friday.
