Caleb Love trotted back, head down, shoulders slumped after the latest of his missed 3-pointers clanged back rim. This was not his night — until it was. Known for taking and making big shots, Love hit one of the biggest of his career — and Arizona's season — with a tying heave from beyond halfcourt at the end of regulation.

Love has had a solid college career. He was the second leading scorer on the UNC team that made a surprise run to the Final Four in 2022 and was the best player on an Arizona team that reached the Sweet 16 last year. He might never have had a more highlight-packed game than what he did on Monday night, though.

Arizona needed a prayer, and guard Caleb Love answered. His buzzer beater to force overtime helped push Arizona past No. 3 Iowa State.
