In a tour de force, UConn shocked Duke to win the national title
All season long, one of them was No. 1. So it was only fitting that UConn and Duke battled to the buzzer Monday night before the Huskies upset the Blue Devils 77-74 in a classic NCAA Tournament final. Sports Illustrated's Jack McCallum was there and filed this report on Connecticut's masterpiece. For favorite Duke, a magical season ended bitterly when Trajan Langdon stumbled his way to two turnovers in the final seconds, dooming the Blue Devils' bid for a third national crown in the '90s.
