Arizona jumped out to its first double-digit lead, 21-11, just eight minutes into the game when Love hit his first a 3-pointer. The Wildcats were shooting 57.1% from the field at that point while scoring nine points off five Utah turnovers.

In a back-and-forth game, Arizona’s Caleb Love hit a shot and was fouled with the Wildcats down by a point and 12 seconds left in regulation, but officials ruled the foul occurred before Love’s shot attempt. So instead of trying to complete a 3-point play, Love got two free-throw attempts.
