Arizona Wildcats fall apart as No. 3 Gonzaga storms back for win

LAHAINA, Hawaii — Justin Coleman tied his career-high of 28 points but Arizona allowed a 13-point advantage to turn into a 91-74 loss to third-ranked Gonzaga in a Maui Invitational semifinal game Tuesday at Lahaina Civic Center.

The game changed quickly in the second half after UA took an early 50-37 lead after halftime, making a sharp downward turn after Chase Jeter fouled out on personal and technical fouls with 12 minutes left.

Arizona dropped to 4-1 and will now play Auburn in the Maui Invitational third-place game on Thursday at 9:30 p.m. Gonzaga (5-0) will face Duke for the championship.
