The sophomore shooting guard made a 3-pointer to force overtime and then scored six more points in the extra session as the top-seeded Arizona outlasted ninth-seeded TCU 85-80 on Sunday night in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. I was pretty happy about getting the offensive rebound,” said Mathurin, who is the sixth Arizona player to score at least 30 points in an NCAA Tournament game. We played our game and we came back.” Chuck O’Bannon Jr. had a career-high 23 points for TCU while Mike Miles Jr. and Eddie Lampkin Jr. had 20 apiece.
