Mullins' Miracle: How does his shot for UConn measure up to other famous ones in March Madness?

WASHINGTON (AP) — A couple of days ago, Braylon Mullins was a UConn freshman whose name carried weight mostly among the true diehards — college basketball junkies and Indiana high school hoops enthusiasts.

APTOPIX NCAA UConn Duke Basketball

Now he's a part of NCAA Tournament lore. That's what can happen at this time of year.

"One of the most brilliant shooters you'll ever see shoot a basketball made an incredible, legendary March shot," Huskies coach Dan Hurley said.

Mullins'35-footer with 0.4 secondsremaining lifted UConn over Duke 73-72 in the Elite Eight on Sunday, and now that the dust has settled, it's time to evaluate just how legendary — as Hurley put it — this shot was.

The bar for last-second game winners is actually higher in the women's tournament, where North Carolina's Charlotte Smith once madea 3-pointer at the buzzerto win the national title game by one in 1994. And who can forget Notre Dame's Arike Ogunbowale winning boththe semifinaland finalin 2018 with tiebreaking jumpers?

On the men's side, it's a little more complicated. There are several factors to consider when determining the best of the best.

Time and score

Last-second shot means last-second shot. Michael Jordan'sgame winnerfor North Carolina in the 1982 title game was memorable because of who shot it, but it also left plenty of time for a very ill-fated Georgetown possession at the other end.

Still, Mullins' 3 doesn't lose any luster because there were 0.4 seconds left when it went in. It wasn't literally at the buzzer, but that's close enough.

Sports Reference helpfully compileda databaseof game-winning buzzer-beaters from NCAA Tournament history. The site requires a shot to be in the last 2.0 seconds to make the list — with some leeway for the era before the clock stopped after made baskets at the end. Only game winners are included. Tying the score and forcing overtime, with apologies toKentucky's Otega Oweh, isn't quite in the same category.

Mullins also gets bonus points because if his shot misses, UConn loses. As incredible asKris Jenkins' 3-pointerat the buzzer was when it won Villanova a championship in 2016, the game was tied at the time, so the worst-case scenario for his team was overtime.

Significance of the game

Buzzer-beaters are a big part of what makes March Madness special, but as much as the first couple of rounds create the tournament's charm, it's the second weekend and beyond when the national championship starts to feel within reach. So last-second shots take on added importance.

According to the Sports Reference list, prior to Mullins there were just 16 instances in the men's tournament — in the Sweet 16 or later — in which a team was trailing before winning with a last-second shot:

— Jack Shelton's shot for Oklahoma State to beat Wyoming in the 1949 quarterfinals.

— Pembrook Burrows' tip-in for Jacksonville against Iowa in the 1970 round of 16.

— Richard Washington's shot for UCLA to beat Louisville in the 1975 national semifinal.

— Danny Ainge goingcoast-to-coastfor BYU against Notre Dame in the 1981 round of 16.

— Mike Jones' shot from the perimeter to lift Wichita State over Kansas in the 1981 round of 16.

— Kevin Gamble's jumper for Iowato beat Oklahomain the 1987 round of 16.

— Keith Smart'sbaseline jumperfor Indiana to beat Syracuse in the 1987 title game. This shot went through the hoop with around 4 seconds left, but a timeout didn't stop the clock until there was 1 second remaining.

— Anderson Hunt's 3-pointer that gave UNLV a one-point win over Arizona in the 1989 round of 16.

— Tate George'sturnaround at the buzzerfor UConn against Clemson in the 1990 round of 16. (Bookmark this one for now.)

— Christian Laettner'sshot at the buzzerfor Duke that beat UConn in the 1990 regional final.

— Laettner again,at the buzzerto beat Kentucky in the 1992 regional final.

— Cameron Dollar's shot for UCLA against Iowa State in the 1997 round of 16.

— Richard Hamilton'sfadeaway at the buzzer— after multiple offensive rebounds — that gave UConn a win over Washington in the 1998 round of 16.

— Chris Chiozza'srunning 3-pointerat the buzzer for Florida that beat Wisconsin in the 2017 round of 16.

— Kyle Guy makingthree consecutive free throwsfor Virginia with 0.6 seconds left to beat Auburn in the 2019 national semifinal.

— Lamont Butler'sjumper at the buzzerfor San Diego State to beat Florida Atlantic in the 2023 national semifinal.

You can see there aren't many 3-pointers on that list — but there are two other UConn players in George and Hamilton. Now Mullins joins them, and his shot came a round later.

Degree of difficulty

Mullins' shot wasn't quite as far as the midcourt heaves by U.S. Reed of Arkansas (1981 second round vs. Louisville) andPaul Jesperson of Northern Iowa(2016 first round against Texas). The more apt comparison, in terms of distance, is with Jalen Suggs'buzzer-beating bank shotfor Gonzaga against UCLA in the 2021 semifinal, although that game was tied before the winning play.

It's also worth considering the difficulty of the entire sequence. George's shot in 1990 required UConn to go the length of the court in 1 second, an impressive throw-catch-shoot sequence in which almost everything had to go perfectly. Baseball draft pick Scott Burrell made the long pass for the Huskies. Duke had 2.1 seconds to set up Laettner in '92, with Grant Hill throwing the ball down the court to him.

The legacy

The reason Laettner's shot in 1992 stood the test of time is because it was the defining moment of a second straight NCAA title run for Duke. And obviously, the game winners by Jenkins and Smart decided national championships on the spot. If UConn doesn't win it all this year, maybe Mullins' 3 falls back to a slightly lower tier, but if the Huskies do prevail in Indianapolis, it'll be their third national title in four years. That's something not even Duke has done before.

And it's only possible because of Mullins' Miracle.

Meta, Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube aren't fully complying with child account ban, Australia says

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Australia'sonline safety watchdogsaid Tuesday it was considering court against Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube alleging they are not doing enough to keep Australian children younger than 16 off their platforms.

Social Media Kids Trial

Experts say the Australian courts could decide what steps the platforms can reasonably be expected to take underthe lawsthat took effect on Dec. 10 banning young children from holding accounts.

eSAfety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant on Tuesday released her first compliance report since those laws took effect demanding 10 platforms remove all Australian account-holders younger than 16.

While 5 million Australian accounts had been deactivated, a substantial number of Australian children continued to retain accounts, create new accounts and pass platforms' age assurance systems, the report said.

Inman Grant said in a statement her office had "significant concerns about the compliance" of half of those 10 platforms. Her office was gathering evidence against the five that they had not taken "reasonable steps" to prevent young children holding accounts.

Courts could order fines of up to 49.5 million Australian dollars ($33 million) for systemic failures to comply. eSafety would decide on whether to initiate court action against any platform by midyear.

Age-restricted platformsthat aren't under investigation are Reddit, X, Kick, Threads and Twitch.

Communications Minister Anika Wells said the five criticized platforms were deliberately not complying with Australian law.

"Social media platforms are choosing to do the absolute bare minimum because they want these laws to fail," Wells told reporters.

"This is the world-leading law. We're the first in the world to do it. Of course they don't want these laws to work because they want that to be a chilling effect on the dozen countries that have come out since Dec. 10 to follow Australia's step," she added.

eSafety had identified "poor practices" such as platforms allowing unlimited attempts for a user to pass their age assurance methods and prompting the user to try to pass the age assurance method even after they declared themselves underage.

Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, told The Associated Press it was committed to complying with Australia's social media ban. "We've also been clear that accurately determining age online is a challenge for the whole industry," the statement said.

Snap Inc. said it has locked 450,000 accounts in compliance with the law and continued to lock more every day.

"Snapchat remains fully committed to implementing reasonable steps under the legislation and supporting its underlying goal of improving online safety for young Australians," a Snap statement said.

TikTok declined to comment on Tuesday and Alphabet Inc., which owns YouTube and Google, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Lisa Given, an information sciences expert at RMIT University in Melbourne, said she expected the courts will decide whether platforms have taken "reasonable steps" to exclude young children.

"If a tech company has said: look, we put in age assurance, we've done all these steps. That's reasonable. Even though the aged assurance technologies are flawed, whose fault is that? Should they be held accountable for a piece of technology that is not 100% and likely not going to be 100% foolproof any time soon?" Given said.

"That's really the crux of it: what the courts will deem reasonable," she added.

Tiger Woods doesn't belong anywhere near the Ryder Cup in 2027

In the wake of hisFriday afternoon wreck and DUI arrest in Florida, Tiger Woods faces massive challenges in both his personal and professional lives. One challenge he shouldn't face: the question of whether he should captain the Ryder Cup team.

Yahoo Sports

Yes, at a time like this, when Woods is facing literal jail time after his arrest on suspicion of DUI, the question ofHow This Will Affect Golfis borderline irrelevant. But it's a critical question nevertheless, because the sway that Woods has held over the sport of golf, and the way that the sport of golf has sheltered Woods, are key factors that led to Friday's rollover accident.

Quite simply, Woods is not fit to spend the next 18 months as the face of the United States Ryder Cup team. Whether you think Woods has disgraced himself, endangered himself, or merely embarrassed himself, the end result is the same. This is a man who should be working on himself and his life, not drawing up potential pairings for a Friday fourball session.

Sure, this upends what had been a long-term succession plan … but that's what wrecks tend to do.

For roughly two decades now, conventional wisdom has held that Woods would eventually become a Ryder Cup captain, as virtually all American and European greats of the game eventually do. (Of course, conventional wisdom also held that Phil Mickelson would one day captain the United States, and that now seems about as likely as you or me getting the call.)

Woods was asked to captain the 2025 team. He declined, citing the demands on his time presented by his role as a leading member of the PGA Tour's Player Advisory Council. The job went to Keegan Bradley instead, and, well,we saw how that turned out.

Earlier this year, Woods revealed that the PGA of America had reached out to him about the captaincy, but was characteristically evasive about specifics: "They have asked me for my input on it, and I haven't made my decision yet," hesaid at the Genesis Invitationalin February.

Since then, he's made his decision — or, more accurately, made other decisions that should foreclose this one.

STUART, FLORIDA - MARCH 27: Tiger Woods is driven from the Martin County Jail after being arrested for driving under the influence after a car crash on March 27, 2026 in Stuart, Florida. The Martin County Sheriff's Office said that Woods and the other driver involved in the two-car crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, were not injured. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)

Let's put aside the very real question of whether Woods would even make a good captain from a strategic perspective. Woods played in eight Ryder Cups from 1997 to 2018, amassing an all-time record of 13-21-3. As a member of a team, he was just 9-19-1, and the U.S. as a whole was only 1-7 when he was on the roster. Team sports weren't really Tiger's bag, and "played good golf once" isn't the only barometer for whether a player will transition into being a great captain.

What does make a great captain? There are two philosophies.

The first is to treat it like a fantasy football team owner, running out pairings of the best players and letting them do their thing, throwing in a little pep talk every now and then via golf cart. This has been the Americans' usual strategy in this century. It's been uneven at best.

The second is to micromanage every element of the Ryder Cup experience, from the order of events to the length of the rough, from the pre-match party schedule to the shampoo in players' rooms. This has been Luke Donald's style, and it's a key reason why the Europeans have throttled the U.S. in so many recent Ryder Cups.

Right now, Woods definitely isn't a fit from an optics perspective and, considering the issues he has outside the ropes, not from a procedural one, either.

The margins for Ryder Cup victory are so slim that the tiniest edges matter. At the celebratory post-Ryder press conference last year, Donald told the story of how he ensured that light from the outside hallway wouldn't shine under players' hotel room doors so that they could get their sleep. Obsessive? Unnecessary? Maybe, but who's to argue with results?

Perhaps Woods could have devoted the necessary time to the American Ryder Cup effort to match Donald's. Perhaps he could have pored over data and statistics, forecasts and catering menus to give the United States the best possible chance of winning on foreign soil. But even before his wreck, it sure didn't seem like Woods had that kind of time.

"I'm trying to figure out what we're trying to do with our tour," Woods said in February. "That's been driving me hours upon hours every day and trying to figure out if I can actually do our team, our Team USA and our players and everyone that's going to be involved in the Ryder Cup, if I can do it justice with my time. Serving on two boards, and what I'm doing for the PGA Tour, I'm trying to figure out if I can actually do this and serve the people that are involved and serve them at an honorable level."

Which brings us back to the second half of the equation: the optics of hiring a clearly struggling Woods as the face of the United States' Ryder Cup endeavors. Regardless of whetherWoods is able to avoid legal recriminations arising from his wreck, the fact remains that this isn't the first time Woods has been in a serious incident involving a motor vehicle. It's a borderline miracle that Woods has only harmed himself — plus a fire hydrant and several vehicles — in his publicly known auto accidents.

Even the most generous reading of Woods' situation is that of a man not fully in control of his own life right now. The best thing the PGA of America could do for Woods would be to remove his name from consideration for the Ryder Cup captaincy and — privately if necessary — encourage him to get the help he needs to get his life back on track. This is the ultimate bigger-than-golf moment, and Woods clearly needs all the help he can get, even if he's not willing to ask for it himself.

Tiger Woods has plenty of opportunities left to captain the United States Ryder Cup team, but 2027 shouldn't be one of them.

Bulls waive Jaden Ivey after troubling social media messages

The Chicago Bulls waived fourth-year guard Jaden Ivey on Monday for "conduct detrimental to the team."

Field Level Media

The Bulls' decision came shortly after Ivey, the fifth overall selection of the 2022 NBA Draft, published several videos on social media that expressed his disapproval of the league's Pride Month activities from a religious perspective.

Perhaps just as troubling, the 24-year-old guard's tone and cadence in his videos sounded distracted or off-kilter.

"That the world can proclaim LBGTQ," Ivey said while appearing to be driving a car during one snippet. "Right?"

"They proclaim Pride Month and the NBA, they proclaim it. They show it to the world. They say come, come, uh, come join us for Pride. For Pride Month. To celebrate unrighteousness. They proclaim it. They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim it in the streets. Unrighteousness. So how is it that one can't, can't speak righteousness? How are they to say that, uh, you, you, 'Man, this man is crazy.'"

Ivey averaged 14.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists while shooting 35.4% from 3-point range in 3 1/2 seasons for the Detroit Pistons. The Bulls acquired the Purdue alum in a trade on Feb. 3, but Ivey appeared in just four games before being shut down due to left knee issues.

Below Deck Down Under - Season 4

Welcome back,Below Deck Down Underfans!Last week, Ellie angrily flew out of the galley, hellbent on throwing Ben under the bus with Captain Jason. Elsewhere, Mike also grew annoyed, but his problems were with Alesia. But now, things are falling further apart for both of these pairings on BDDU Season 4 Episode 9.

What happened in Below Deck Down Under Season 4 Episode 9?

Ben and Ellie clashover a dinner service. Even though Ellie loves hierarchy, she refuses to respect Ben, so Daisy and Captain Jason have no choice but to intervene. Meanwhile, Daisy also has to scold certain members of her team. Unfortunately, their mistakes in the interior are starting to add up.

Ellie runs to Captain Jason

BDDU

Ellie sees only red, not her guests. One of these guests, Sofia, tells Ellie, "Hey." But, Ellie remains on hermission to reach Captain Jason, so she quickly snaps back, "Sorry, can't do it right now." Ameerah, another guest, sarcastically responds, "Okay?"

Finally, Ellie reaches the sundeck. She calls out Ben's communication skills and pet-naming patterns. Captain Jason thought they were doing well, so he's confused, as is Ben.

"With no inkling of prior unhappiness, this is all coming as a big, big shock to me," Ben admits. Back on the sundeck, Captain Jason tells Ellie, "You've got boundaries, and you need to communicate with him."

In his talking head, Captain Jason also blames Ellie for losing her cool "ten minutes before dinner." He will "monitor this" situation. Ellie returns to the galley, where Ben notes his weariness "working around" her energy. "I've worked around your energy every single day, Ben," Ellie angrily refutes, adding, "Get over it."

"Never in my entire life have I seen somebody go at their boss in the galley like this," Daisy admits. This is fair but has Daisy had a boss who refuses to address people by their names?

Mike drops the ball

BDDU

"Let's be extra vigilant on toilet paper, and also the side cabinets,"Alesia tells Mike. Several beats later, Daisy reminds Alesia to place flowers, champagne, and red wine in the primary suite.

Back in the galley, Ben asks João for help, but Ellie argues, "No, that's my job, and I'll do my job. We're not doing that. You're not going to do this sh*t to me. I don't accept that, ever again."

Jenna remains frustrated with Alesia, but Ellie is the second female to feel uncomfortable around Ben, she notes. Speaking of Alesia, she reminds Mike to "do the day head." So, Mike pops off in his confessional.

"Alesia's younger than me, she's a lot less mature than everybody on this boat, and she's already failed in the galley. So, it gets under my skin when Alesia tries to delegate," Mike reasons. "I don't need the extra management," he states, right as Alesia explains in her talking head, "Mike needs management."

Alesia asks Mike to take the wine, flowers, and champagne to the primary cabin. Mike says okay, but then he heads downstairs and loudly chugs water instead. Clay enters his cabin, confused. Clay finds Jenna, kindly reminding her about his preferences.

Jenna scolds Mike. Daisy is also upset. This was a major f*ck up for her team.

Ben gets "frazzled" by Ellie

BDDU

Ben owns his behaviors. But Ellie sternly asserts that her "reaction was justified because you were belittling me. And I stood up for myself, which I will continue doing." Ben asks Ellie to go to bed, but Ellie remains heated.

"Daisy, she's going crazy on Ben," Mike whispers. Daisy heads downstairs, just in time to hear Ellie threatening Ben with a "Don't try me" statement. She sends Ellie to bed, but even as Ellie exits, she warns Ben that she will react like this again if needed.

Ben sends Captain Jason a Mayday text. In the morning, Captain Jason calls Daisy to the wheelhouse. Ellie is more to blame, Daisy admits. Ben heads in after, and he and Captain Jason agree to reassess things in 48 hours.

Ben's guests (understandably) hate their "watery," "gross," eggs. He is messing up, since he feels "frazzled" by Ellie. However this is no excuse for a "professional" chef. Captain Jason pulls Ellie in for a chat.

In the wheelhouse, Ellie explains that Ben "kept jabbing" at her, so she snapped. She "went a little too far," though,Captain Jason clocks. He calls out her "swearing, yelling," and "storming past the guests" antics. Ellie will do better, but Ben needs to as well, she answers.

Captain Jason lays down the law

Captain Jason Chambers on BDDU

The primary charter guests, Clay and Marc, are renewing their vows tonight on the sundeck. As Eddy and Jenna set the scene, their flirtations resume. Jenna "might be over" their issues now.

But she's not over Mike. He's moving slowly, which makes Jenna mad. Mike likes ribbing Jenna, so he starts winding her up even more. Daisy inserts herself, yelling, "Jenna and Mike, let's go!"

Captain Jason practices his officiating role using Daisy and João as his stand-ins. They giggle, and it's perhaps the only fun part of this episode, minus Marc and Clay's extra-precious wedding ceremony.

In the morning, Daisy finds a cleaning cloth in one of the rooms. Alesia blames Mike, but the cameras show it was actually her. The guests depart.

Captain Jason calls Ellie and Ben to the wheelhouse. "Where this has got tois not acceptable. We're trying to get a job done, so I think you guys need to have a chat now and understand that, emotionally, [Ellie] wants respect there. I want to see a result, and if you have a problem with that, we make changes," he demands, as the words TO BE CONTINUED appear on the screen.

Below Deck Down Underis streaming on Peacock. BDDU airs on Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo.
