From the island: Arizona battles back to beat Iowa State, advance to Maui Invitational semifinals

LAHAINA, Hawaii — The Arizona Wildcats punched their ticket to Maui Invitational semifinals with a 71-66 comeback victory over an undermanned but very game Iowa State team on Monday.

The Wildcats, who trailed for most of the contest, battled back from a 10-point deficit with 11 minutes to go behind the clutch shooting of senior floor leader Justin Coleman.

Coleman led the way with 18 points and three assists. He also hit a team-high 4 treys and scored 15 of his points in the second half.

A crafty right-handed scoop layup by Coleman tied the game at 56.
