Houston stuns Duke with furious rally at Final Four to reach title game of March Madness

After trailing by 14 points in the second half, L.J. Cryer and No. 1 Houston went on an incredible late run to stun No. 1 Duke and advance to the national championship game.

Monday night's title game will now feature Houston against No. 1 Florida.

Duke led 59-45 with just over eight minutes left in the game as the Blue Devils looked to be headed to its first national championship game since 2015. But Cryer, who was a major reason the Cougars remained in striking distance, sparked a 10-0 run to cut the deficit to four points with five minutes left.
