A minute later H Waldman, a freshman guard, drilled back to back triples, and Vegas led 97-95. Arizona scored the next 5 - but with 22 seconds left Gilbert Arenas missed the second FT to open the door a crack - and at the buzzer, a Larry Johnson 3 sent the game into OT. But the Cats were too much, sprinting out to a quick lead they'd never give back. Arenas led the way with 31. Wright had 15 points and 12 rebounds.
