Williams logs 26 minutes...not enough time to derail UConn



The Arizona Wildcats season is over.

Their season ends in Anaheim today as the UConn Huskies win 65-63. UConn heads for Houston and the NCAA Final Four, while the Wildcats head back to Tucson. Derrick Williams plays just 26 minutes and scores 20 points. The Huskies figured out a way to keep Williams on the bench for 14 minutes. Too much time on the pine for the Pac-10 Player of the Year.

Still, the Huskies had to hold their collective breath as the final seconds ticked away. Williams three-point try, with just eight seconds left, bounced off the rim and eventually ended up in the hands of senior Jamelle Horne, who put up the final shot of the year for the Wildcats. Horne's shot was off the mark, the buzzer sounded, and the Wildcats' trip to the Big Dance was over. It was a great season.

Hats off to Sean Miller and all the players for a 30-win season and a Pac-10 title...and for making it to the doorstep of the Final Four.
