Arizona Wins First True Road Game, 76-72 Over UConn

Arizona wins a second game over UConn in back-to-back seasons.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Brandon Randolph scored 20 points and Chase Jeter added 14 as Arizona held off UConn 76-72 on Sunday.

It was the first true away game of the year for the travel-weary Wildcats (6-2), whose only losses came in Maui to top-ranked Gonzaga and No. 8 Auburn.

Arizona led for most of the game and by four points at the half.

They extended the lead to eight points on a fast-break layup by Randolph with just over eight minutes left in the game.

But UConn chipped away, cutting the lead to two points several times down the stretch.

A driving layup by UConn's Jalen Adams made it 74-72 with eight seconds remaining, but Arizona was able to inbound the ball and Brandon Williams sealed the game from the line.

Adams had 21 points to lead the Huskies (6-2). Eric Cobb added 12 points and 10 rebounds off the bench.

UP NEXT

Arizona: The Wildcats head back home to face Utah Valley on Thursday before flying east again to visit Alabama next Sunday.

UConn: The Huskies are back at the XL Center on Wednesday for a game against Lafayette.
