“I want it.”
Samajae Haynes-Jones did not mince words in Wichita State’s huddle during a timeout with 6.4 seconds remaining against Connecticut and the scored tied at Koch Arena on Tuesday.
The senior from Wichita wanted the ball and WSU coach Gregg Marshall gave it to him. Haynes-Jones traveled the length of the floor up the right sideline, lofted a 12-footer high up into the air with his left hand as his momentum carried him right and watched it fall into the basket for his second game-winner in less than a month.
Wichita State 65, Connecticut 63.
