NCAA Tournament: Arizona men’s basketball outlasts TCU in overtime, advances to Sweet 16

SAN DIEGO—Good things come to those who wait, even if those extra five minutes are excrutiatingly stressful.

Arizona got 30 points from Bennedict Mathurin and a career-high 28 from Christian Koloko, including the game-sealing putback dunk with 11.5 seconds left in overtime to give the Wildcats an 85-80 win over TCU in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday night at Viejas Arena.

The UA (33-3) moves on to the Sweet 16 for the 20th time in school history, first since 2017, and will face No. 5 Houston (31-5) at 6:45 p.
