With 17 seconds left, Aaliyah Ortiz drove to the basket and made a short jumper to give the Wildcats a 58-57 lead.

After a Graceland timeout, Kymani Freeman, who had made four 3-pointers in the game, missed a trey with four seconds left and Newbon grabbed the rebound and was fouled with 2.2 seconds remaining.
