Moreover, both teams would match up against each other in the second round of the tournament. Despite a tough fight from TCU, the Wildcats would come out on top.

However, something strange took place during the game. Late in the game’s 2nd half, the Wildcats messed up a buzzer beater that could have prevented the game from going into overtime. This put fans on Twitter in a frenzy.

Tied at 75 and late in the second half, the Wildcats forced a turnover. With an open court ahead of him, Arizona’s Dalen Terry made a dunk to push the Wildcats up by 2.

Furthermore, many fans trolled Dalen Perry. They argued that the Wildcat’s guard could have performed a layup of a floater instead of dunking the ball. This would have allowed the Wildcats to avoid an overtime situation.
