Mark Williams had an open look.
With time winding down in the first half, the senior forward got the ball from redshirt-senior swingman Daniel Dingle with no defenders in sight.
Williams fired away from behind the 3-point line, but couldn’t connect. Junior forward Obi Enechionyia got a hand on the rebound he couldn’t come down with.
Central Florida secured the board and made a free throw with three seconds left. Enechionyia’s three-quarter court heave was no good as the Owls lost to Central Florida 71-69 on Wednesday night in the Liacouras Center.
Enechionyia, who scored all 17 of his points in the second half, twice gave his team the lead down the stretch.
