TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Derrick Jasper hit a 3-pointer with 1:39 left in the second overtime to help No. 24 UNLV beat Arizona 74-72 on Wednesday night.
Jasper's 3 tied the game at 70. After Arizona sophomore Kyle Fogg missed a contested driving layup with 28 seconds left, TreVon Willis made two free throws to give the Runnin' Rebels (6-0) the lead for good.
Matt Shaw made one free throw to make it 73-70 and Arizona's Nic Wise raced down court but was fouled so he couldn't get off a 3-point attempt to tie. Wise hit both free throws to make it 73-72 with 9 seconds left.
Kendall Wallace hit the second of 2 free throws to make it 74-72, and Wise's last shot was blocked by Justin Hawkins as time expired.
Willis had 25 points for UNLV, while Derrick Williams led the Wildcats (3-3) with 28 points.
