WICHITA, Kan. – Samajae Haynes-Jones jumper as time expired helped lift the Wichita State men's basketball team to a 65-63 win over the UConn Huskies Thursday, Feb. 28, inside Charles Koch Arena. The victory was the 300th at WSU for 12th season head coach Gregg Marshall.
After UConn's Alterique Gilbert converted back-to-back three pointers in the final 45 seconds of regulation to tie the game at 63, Haynes-Jones took the ball the length of the floor and swished home a running fadeaway jump shot just as the final horn sounded.
It was his second game-winner of the season after he beat the horn to give WSU an 85-83 victory over SMU Jan.
