Jaden Bradley's game-high 21 points included a clutch layup with 16 seconds left in regulation to lift No. 4 Arizona to a 71-67 road win over No. 3 UConn in an early-season showdown on Wednesday night in Storrs, Conn.
The Wildcats (5-0) used a late 7-0 run to turn a 2-point deficit into a lead that they would not relinquish en route to their third win over a ranked team this season. A jumper by Motiejus Krivas (9 points, 14 rebounds) in the lane with 1:12 left proved to be the game-winning shot.
Bradley's lay-up extended the lead to 67-64 and a pair of missed free throws by UConn's Eric Reibe on the ensuing possession had the Huskies in catch-up mode with not enough time remaining. Arizona's Tobe Akawa hit all four free-throw attempts in the final six seconds to seal the road victory.
