Dominic Green’s game-winning 3-pointer to beat No. 9 Arizona has likely been watched thousands of times by Washington fans all over the world.
Green’s shot was a result of Wildcats center Deandre Ayton blocking freshman guard Jaylen Nowell, who was going at the rim with less than five seconds left. Nowell’s attempt was theatrically denied by Ayton, who could be the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. Ayton’s blocked shot, however, made it’s way to Green. From there, the Renton native hit a 3-pointer that sent UW to a thrilling 78-75 win Saturday at the Alaska Airlines Arena.
