HARTFORD, Conn. -- Josh Brown hit a spinning jumper in the lane with 2.5 seconds left and Temple upset No. 23 UConn 55-53 on Tuesday night.
The Owls (7-6, 2-1 American Athletic Conference) led by as many as eight points in the second half, but were tied after two free throws from UConn's Daniel Hamilton.
Coach Fran Dunphy called a timeout with 14 seconds left to set up Brown's final shot.
A desperation 3-pointer by UConn's Sterling Gibbs at the buzzer was well off the mark.
Quenton DeCosey scored 15 points to lead the Owls, including making all three of his attempts from 3-point range.
