After trailing much of the game, No. 2 Arizona men’s basketball rallied to beat UC Irvine on Wednesday night at home.
Coming off of the bench, sophomore forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson scored a game-high 19 points and had what ESPN called the dunk of the year, where he slam dunked the ball over 7-6 UCI sophomore center Mamadou Ndiaye.
The Wildcats now say Aloha to Maui, Hawaii as a 3-0 team.
