The Arizona Wildcats used timely 3-point shooting to pull away from the pesky UConn Huskies in a 73-58 win on Thursday in Tucson.
Leading just 54-53 with 7:11 left, the Wildcats drilled a trio of 3s as part of a 20-4 run to pick up their seventh straight win in their non-conference finale.
Rawle Alkins, Parker Jackson-Cartwright, and Allonzo Trier were the shotmakers, and Alkins and Trier later punctuated the win with a pair of dunks.
Alkins, who finished with 20 points and four rebounds, took a shoulder to head early in the second half that shook him up, but he quickly returned to the game and caught fire, scoring 14 points in the period, including three 3s.
