Duke freshman point guard Cayden Boozer has endured a lot of heat since his critical turnover in Sunday’s Elite Eight loss to UConn, both from Duke haters and, unfortunately, plenty of Blue Devils fans.
Boozer saw an opportunity to end the game with a run-out dunk with both Isaiah Evans and Patrick Ngongba alone in the frontcourt, and he took it. Unfortunately, UConn deflected the pass, the ball found the hands of Braylon Mullins, and he hit a 35-footer with 0.4 seconds to play to hand Duke a heartbreaking defeat.
If you want to blame anyone for the Boozer pass, you should pass that blame to his head coach. Jon Scheyer is seen clear as day instructing Boozer to pass it ahead instead of holding it. That’s obviously something that was coached…
