Indoor Stadium
The Arizona Wildcats pulled off a major upset on Saturday night, defeating the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils 78-73 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Wildcats, ranked No. 12 in the nation, were led by Keshad Johnson, who hit a clutch three-pointer with just seconds left to seal the victory.
The game was a back-and-forth affair, with neither team able to gain a decisive advantage. With the score tied at 73 with less than 10 seconds left, Johnson took the ball and drove to the basket. He managed to get off a shot just before the buzzer, and it went in, giving Arizona the win.
The victory was a huge one for the Wildcats, who had been struggling in recent weeks. It was also a huge win for Johnson, who had been struggling to find his shooting touch. His late basket was a reminder of why he was so highly regarded coming out of high school.
The win was also a big one for Arizona head coach Sean Miller, who has been under fire recently due to his team’s struggles. Miller has been criticized for his team’s lack of offensive production, but this win should quiet some of his critics.
The loss was a tough one for Duke, who had been on a roll lately. The Blue Devils had won seven of their last eight games coming into Saturday’s contest, and were looking to keep their momentum going. However, they were unable to do so, as Johnson’s late heroics dashed their hopes.
Overall, it was an exciting game between two of the top teams in the nation. Johnson’s late basket will be remembered for years to come, and it will go down as one of the most memorable moments in Arizona basketball history.
