2019 – Beat UConn in Wichita 65-63. Samajae Haynes-Jones scored 20 points and hit a jumper at the buzzer as Wichita State erased a 10-point deficit and beat Connecticut 65-63 on Thursday night. UConn's Alterique Gilbert scored on back-to-back 3-pointers inside the final minute that tied the game at 63. Haynes-Jones took an inbounds pass with 6.4 seconds to go, dribbled the floor and sealed it with an off-balance shot from the corner. "I've shot that shot a lot in my life," Haynes-Jones said. "I was relaxed and knocked it down. I knew it was going in."
