During UConn's Elite Eight game versus Duke in the 2026 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, Mullins made a game-winning three-point shot with 0.4 seconds left after Silas Demary deflected a pass from Duke's Cayden Boozer during the game's final seconds. ESPN college basketball analyst Jeff Borzello called the shot "one of the greatest shots in the history of the NCAA tournament."
