Following the 15-point victory, the Ghostbusters star shared a special moment with Luke before taking center stage to raise the coveted trophy. Murray then handed it back to Luke, acknowledging his son’s contributions.

During the game, when the jumbotron alternated between Murray and Purdue alum Drew Brees, the actor showed his support for UConn. Murray engaged in a friendly flex-off with the NFL star during a timeout in the second half, much to the delight of the crowd, as they traded poses on the big screen.
