What happened in the UConn vs. Duke game?

Boomer Esiason 0:00
dramatic finish for sure yesterday where UConn beat Duke 73-72 advancing to the Final Four. So I give you all three calls here, and the next hour I'll give you Ian, but I've got all three radio calls. We will start with Westwood 1 and your guy Scott Graham, who was on the call. So the situation is UConn misses the first free throw They make the second one. They're down two with eight seconds to go. Saar gets it in to Cam Boozer. Boozer back to Saar. Now ahead to Caden Boozer. And UConn got a steal.
Jerry Recco 0:31
Caravan for Mullins. Long three. He got it. Oh, he got it. He hit it. He hit the long three-pointer from the logo with three-tenths of a second left to go. I don't believe it. UConn is taking the lead.
Boomer Esiason 0:49
Yes, they did with .3 left, and they would win because the home run pass didn't work after the timeout or after that play anyhow. And so UConn amazingly wins that game.
Mike Crispino 1:00
Now, if you were listening in the UConn area, this was Mike Crispino on UConn Radio. Mullins delivers. Bedlam. Bedlam here.
Boomer Esiason 1:25
It was in D.C. That was great. And then finally the Duke call. Boozer.
Unknown 1:30
Bobbled it. Back for Starr. Needs to get rid of it. Does for Kaden. Seven seconds. Tried to throw it ahead. Deflected. Stolen by Connecticut. Two seconds. It's Mullins up top for the win. Oh, hit it. With three-tenths of a second to go. Valakai Smith ran off the bench. That should be a technical. But with three-tenths of a second to go, Connecticut has the lead 73-72. Yeah. Not going to call a technical.
Boomer Esiason 1:55
By the way, I think Malachi Smith was actually on the floor. I don't think he ran off the bench. Wasn't he?
Alfredo Arteaga 2:02
There was somebody who ran off the bench and was on the court for a millisecond.
Gregg Giannotti 2:06
Here's the thing about that last call. That guy said the ball was deflected.
Boomer Esiason 2:10
It was.
Gregg Giannotti 2:10
The other two didn't say that.
Boomer Esiason 2:11
No, the pass was, yeah.
Gregg Giannotti 2:12
Yeah, but I'm just saying, like, he did a really good job of really describing what happened. But I will say this whole thing, this should be a technical thing. Yeah. Come on. Stop. Stop.

What insights did Rick Pitino share after the game?

Gregg Giannotti 2:22
Give me a break.
Alfredo Arteaga 2:23
Stop. I mean, imagine that if they called that technical. That would have been a total disaster. Everybody would have hated that.
Boomer Esiason 2:30
Oh, that would have been something.
Alfredo Arteaga 2:31
Imagine Danny Hurley's reaction. He would have strangled somebody to death.
Boomer Esiason 2:36
I don't know who, but somebody. Remember he said Friday, all we see is the monster. That monster would have come out.
Gregg Giannotti 2:42
Oh, man.
Boomer Esiason 2:44
So they win. So Mullins, the freshman, that had to have been 40 feet, that three-pointer. That was from way out. Terrace Reed had 26 and nine rebounds, not to forget him.
Gregg Giannotti 2:57
Have you ever had a call like that? You've had to have had one or two, right?
Boomer Esiason 3:00
Oh, I had the Ron Harper Jr. one where they beat Purdue. Back in the day. Do we have that anywhere? I like to compare these. Yeah, I can find it for sure. But, yeah, I mean, I've had some game winners, absolutely. Not in an NCAA tournament. You know what I've had, and we talked about this, which we couldn't play, was at the play-in game in Dayton when they lost to Notre Dame. We had Ron Harper Jr. tying the game at the end of the first overtime or at the end of regulation, whatever it was, and we couldn't play any of them. There were a bunch of big plays in that game. But now we can, I guess. Yeah, I guess so. I can't get my hands on those calls. So that's one game that I've not been allowed to ever. What is it?
Alfredo Arteaga 3:40
Like there's a brood of film or what is it? I don't know, man. It's a long convoluted thing, but it's a shame.
Boomer Esiason 3:46
I don't go back and listen often. That's when I'd like to go back in here and I can't. So imagine you're Tracy Wolfson. You're on the court and you've got to now go do the interviews. She's trying to track down Danny Hurley, but he's got one thing on his mind.
Jerry Recco 3:59
Let me bring you in. Somebody stole my pin. That's okay. We'll get you a new pin. We'll get you a new pin. I know you're so superstitious.
Boomer Esiason 4:06
He's like a child. Yeah. I need my pin. Where's the pin? Somebody stole it. She did get him, though, and then asked about, obviously, that sequence and the game.
Mike Crispino 4:15
How about this one?
Gregg Giannotti 4:16
What's that? I can imagine that. After all this is over, there's probably about 20 people looking around on the bench.
