Gibbs missed a jumper on UConn's final possession. Shonn Miller could not put in a follow-up attempt and Jalen Adams' desperation shot at the buzzer hit the rim and bounced away.

Cincinnati scored just four points over the final seven minutes, but Clark was able to draw a foul on Miller in the lane, and his jumper and free throw provided the winning margin.
