Longtime NFL star Micah Parsons is demanding an investigation into the NCAA Tournament after Sunday's games.

No. 1 seed Duke, the top overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, was stunned by No. 2 seed UConn in the Elite Eight in Washington, D.C. Duke, leading 72-70, turned the ball over late, leading to a game-winning 3-pointer from UConn. The Huskies are off to the Final Four, while Duke is going home early.

Parsons, who attended Penn State but was apparently rooting hard for Duke, thinks the ending to the game might have been fixed. He's demanding an investigation into the stunning collapse. Duke led by 19 points at one point.

"This needs to be investigated bro ! I can’t lie I’m raging rn!" he wrote.

Cayden Boozer, meanwhile, owned up to his mistake, making it clear that he just made a mental error making that pass.

“I ruined our team’s season,” Cayden Boozer said postgame. “That’s the best I can put it.”

Dan Hurley remains stunned by what happened

Hurley remains amazed.

"I knew it was a deep shot. I didn't realize how far away he was until – until I watched the replay of it, but it was kind of tracking in line," Hurley said in an interview with "CBS Mornings" on Monday. "Braylon is such a special shooter."

UConn is going for its third national title under Hurley.

"The locker room was … lively, you know, there was some frustration," he said. "There was a lot of belief, and, you know, the team's been through a lot this year. It's been through a lot of injuries. We have had a lot of close games and we really … leaned on our resiliency and fortitude, and our habits of preparation and how hard we practiced."
