ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- B.J. Taylor scored 20 points and UCF made 9 of 10 free throws in the final minute to defeat UConn for just the second time ever, 70-61 on Wednesday night.

UConn never led after making the opening basket and UCF didn't lead by double figures until the closing run.

Three other players scored in double figures for the Knights but the rare win in the series wasn't secure until finding the range from the foul line in the final minute, missing 12 of 24 in the first 39 minutes. UCF finished 21 of 34.

The Knights (14-7, 5-4 American Athletic Conference) were up by seven midway through the second half when the Huskies (11-11, 4-5) reeled off seven, the last five from Christian Vital, who tied it with a 3-point play with 6:25 to go. But Taylor made 2 of 4 free throws and found Dayon Griffin for a 3-pointer and UCF was ahead for good.

Vital's two free throws with a minute left made it 61-55 and the teams traded 2-point possessions. A.J. Davis went to the line with 35.9 seconds to play and made 1 of 2 free throws. After the second shot was missed, Tyler Polley grabbed the rebound and threw it out of bounds.

After two free throws from by Davis, the Huskies had another turnover and Ceasar DeJesus made it 68-58 from the line.

Terry Larrier led UConn with 15 points.
