Arizona basketball edges Washington on late basket by Azuolas Tubelis

Arizona Daily Star

Azuolas Tubelis hit an 18-foot jumper from the left corner with 5.2 seconds left to give Arizona a 75-74 win over Washington on Saturday in what was probably the Wildcats’ final home game of the season.

Arizona called a timeout trailing 74-73 with 15 seconds left, and James Akinjo drove inside before kicking it out to Tubelis, who was open in the right corner. The shot was reviewed to see whether it was a 3-pointer but it didn’t matter when Washington’s Quade Green raced downcourt for a final desperation 3 that came up well short before the buzzer.
