Trailing Texas 69-67 with 14 seconds remaining in an NCAA Round of 32 game in Tulsa, Arizona forced a five-second call on a Longhorns inbounds play. On its final possession, the Wildcats passed to Williams, who drove to the basket, was knocked off balance and was fouled, and shot as the whistle was blown. His shot went in, and so did his free throw. Arizona won 70-69, reaching the Elite Eight against UConn a week later.
Waiting list: Derrick Williams, 2011
