The University of Connecticut men's basketball team defeated Duke University to advance to the 2026 NCAA Men's Final Four. The victory, secured in the Elite Eight round of the tournament, means both the UConn men's and women's programs have reached the national semifinals this season.
The UConn women's team, a perennial powerhouse, earned its spot in the Women's Final Four earlier in the tournament. This marks a historic achievement for the university, with both programs competing for national championships simultaneously.
The men's game was a closely contested matchup, with UConn ultimately prevailing over the Blue Devils. The Huskies will now prepare for their Final Four opponent as they continue their title defense from the previous season.
