. It was no different against a determined underdog in a tough environment on
the road. Gabe York and Nick Johnson each scored 15 points, Rondae
Hollis-Jefferson added 13 and the fourth-ranked Wildcats escaped with a 67-63
overtime victory against Utah on Wednesday night. Arizona held the Utes to one
field goal over the final 5 minutes and forced a critical turnover in the
closing seconds. "We just had to buckle down," Johnson said. "We had to buckle
down on defence. We had to rebound. They were really getting us on the offensive
rebounds." The score was tied at 58 before Hollis-Jefferson made two baskets to
give the Wildcats a four-point lead with 1:52 left in overtime. His first bucket
came after he snagged an offensive rebound. The second one came after Brandon
Taylor, an 86 per cent free throw shooter, missed three straight from the line
to prevent Utah from taking the lead. "Rondae had some offensive rebounds and
some plays that he made that were great," Johnson said. "If we didnt have him,
we wouldnt have won." Delon Wright made a pair of free throws to cut it to
62-60, but threw the ball away with 33.9 seconds left. Johnson and T.J.
McConnell each made free throws to help secure the victory. The Wildcats (24-2,
11-2 Pac-12) beat Utah for the ninth straight time since a loss to the Utes in
the 1998 NCAA tournament. Arizona also held onto sole possession of first place
in the Pac-12, one game ahead of UCLA. Taylor had 13 points and Wright and
Dallin Bachynski each scored 12 for the Utes (17-9, 6-8), who lost at home for
the second time this season. Utah last beat Arizona at home in 1985. The Utes
fell short despite outrebounding the Wildcats 37-31 and finishing with a 34-23
edge in the paint. "It was a classic game and one of the things I was most proud
of is the fact that we came back," Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said. "We built
that deficit against a really good basketball team and (then) put a little
different lineup on the floor and went small. I thought some of our young kids
gave us a great lift and we got more aggressive. We got to the free throw line."
Arizona started strong, making its first four field goal attempts and taking a
9-8 lead. Utah kept pace by hitting seven of its first 10 shots from the field.
Princeton Onwas stole the ball from Hollis-Jefferson and dunked it on the other
end to cap a 6-0 spurt. Arizona went on a 14-0 run later in the half. York
capped the surge by hitting a 3-pointer and then taking his own steal from
Taylor in for a layup, giving the Wildcats a 25-16 lead. "Thats what he can do,"
Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "He made some timely shots. One of the big
reasons we went in the half with a lead was because of his offence." Utah
briefly trimmed the deficit to five after baskets from Taylor and Bachynski.
Arizona quickly answered, pushing the lead to double digits with 3s from York
and Hollis-Jefferson that made it 35-24. The Utes cut it to single digits again
when Onwas took another steal in for a dunk to make it 35-26. Arizona had a
chance to take a 12-point lead into the locker room when Jordin Mayes nailed a
3-pointer at the buzzer, but the officials waved it off during halftime. Utah
cut the lead to 40-33 when Taylor stole the ball from Johnson and took it in for
a layup. The Wildcats thwarted the rally for a time, going back up by 12 on
McConnells jumper. But the Utes ripped off a 10-2 run to get back into the game.
A pair of big baskets from freshman Ahmad Fields cut the deficit to 48-44.
Arizona endured a short cold spell after a layup from McConnell made it 52-44
with 6:41 left, going 3:13 without a field goal. The Wildcats also had to finish
the game without star forward Aaron Gordon after he fouled out with 8:41 left in
the second half. Utah took advantage with an 11-2 run and went ahead 55-54 on a
runner from Jordan Loveridge with 3:09 remaining. Arizona regained a one-point
lead on Johnsons jumper with 2:21 left. Utah tied it when Loveridge made one of
two free throws with 28 seconds to go. McConnell had a chance to win it for the
Wildcats in regulation, but missed a runner in the lane as time expired. Arizona
made sure its second chance to win in overtime didnt slip away. "At some points,
we werent playing smart basketball," McConnell said. "But at the end we did and
thats what matters most."

. Kessel scored the second of three straight goals for the Maple Leafs in the
third period as they recovered to beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 at Air Canada
Centre. He assisted on the Maple Leafs third goal and almost had the first
Gordie Howe hat trick - a goal, an assist and a fight - of his NHL career when
he and pesky Alexandre Burrows scuffled and just about dropped the gloves late
in the second period.

. Both teams finished the first half of the season tied on 50 points after an
exciting, back-and-forth showdown at Vicente Calderon Stadium yielded no winner.
Barcelona was troubled by Atletico pair Diego Costa and Arda Turan throughout,
while second-half substitute Lionel Messi enjoyed the visitors best chances as
the Barcelona forward headed wide before forcing goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois
into a clutch stop in the 81st.The Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies
could be talking a blockbuster involving Jose Bautista. According to Howard
Eskin of FOX Philadelphia and WIP Radio, the two teams are in serious talks on a
deal that would see the four-time All Star and two-time home run champion return
to the Senior Circuit and the Phillies. It is believed that outfielder Domonic
Brown and more would head back to the Blue Jays. The 33-year-old Bautista has
two years remaining on a five-year, $64 million deal with an option for another
season. Durability has been a concern in recent yeears for the Dominican-born
slugger.

Bautista missed 70 games in 2012 with a left wrist injury and a left hip bruise
saw his 2013 season end on September 4th. Brown is coming off of a breakout year
for the Phillies where he hit .272 with 27 home runs and 83 RBI. The 26-year-old
was named an All-Star for his efforts. Brown becomes arbitration-eligible
following the 2014 season. If the Phillies were to acquire Bautista, he could be
used primarily at third base as Philadelphia brought aboard OF Marlon Byrd on a
two-year deal on Tuesday.
