Arizona Vs. UConn Score: Wildcats Rally, Cut Huskies Lead To Three Points
After a UConn bucket, Arizona scored six straight points to cut the lead down to 34-31 with 17:16 left, leading to a timeout by Jim Calhoun. Arizona got a layup by Jesse Perry, then after a Connecticut miss, Derrick Williams made a beautiful pass from the left side to Solomon Hill for a dunk. After another Connecticut miss, Perry camped in the lane and took a pass from Williams for a layup.
On the ensuing possession, Jeremy Lamb missed a stepback jumper, but Connecticut chased down the offensive rebound. However, Arizona trapped Kemba Walker, forcing a long three that missed. Derrick Williams snared the rebound with two men on him, and the Wildcats went off the other way. Williams then forced a foul by getting deep post position in the lane.
