Keshad Johnson’s late basket helps No. 12 Arizona beat No. 2 Duke 78-73 at Cameron

Associated Press  

DURHAM, N.C. — Arizona passed every final-minute test in No. Keshad Johnson hit a tough whistle-drawing layup for a three-point play with 46.8 seconds left that pushed Arizona in front on the way to a 78-73 win at Duke on Friday night, marking the Wildcats’ first road win against a top-2 ranked opponent since March 2001. But we’re on a longer journey than this.” The Wildcats bullied the Blue Devils in the first half on the glass and led by eight at the break at Cameron Indoor Stadium. “It just came at the right timing,” Johnson said of his late baskets, adding: “I just kept my head down and wanted to do anything that could get my team the win.” Caleb Love — a transfer from hated Duke rival North Carolina who heard plenty from the “Cameron Crazies” all night — also came up big late by assisting on Johnson’s go-ahead score and making four free throws during Arizona’s 6-for-6 finish at the line in the final 20 seconds. “Small or big or whatever, it’s still about effort,” Duke coach Jon Scheyer said.
