PHILADELPHIA -- UConn's 6-3 sophomore point guard Jalen Adams has been a hero before. Just last year, in the quarterfinals of the American tournament, he launched a 65-foot parabola against Cincinnati that sent the game into a fourth overtime and eventually provided the inspiration for the Huskies to win a championship in Orlando and earn an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
Sunday, he made the most of another dramatic moment, scoring on a driving reverse layup with 2.9 seconds to play as the Huskies rallied from 10 points down with eight minutes to play to stun Temple, 64-63, here before a crowd of 8,702 at the Liacouras Center.
