Finally, pushed back against the wall one last time, UConn took on the mentality of its embattled coach and came out swinging, downing Arizona in the West Regional for its ninth consecutive victory in 19 days.

Bria Hartley ignited the burst with a three- pointer, then tied the game at 53-53 with a layup before Lorin Dixon put UConn ahead for good with a steal and a basket.
