Arizona trailed 9-1 early in the first half, 34-25 early in the second, and 50-41 with 10:41 left in the game. Each time, the Wildcats were able to come back and take the lead. The last rally, though, from a 62-55 UConn lead with 2:44 left in the game, came up short when Derrick Williams and Jamelle Horne missed 3-pointers with under 10 seconds remaining, icing the two-point victory for UConn and sending the Huskies to their second Final Four in three years.
Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb combined for 11 of the last 13 points (and 39 altogether) scored by the Huskies.
