Arizona's Caleb Love, KJ Lewis and Jackson Cook were regulars at Tucson's Lucky Strike Bowl in the offseason, and returned Wednesday to enjoy a brief break from the basketball season.

College basketball fans are getting the full Caleb Love experience Monday night. After going 1-of-10 from the 3-point line over the first 39 minutes and 58 seconds of the game, Love drained a 60-footer from beyond halfcourt at the buzzer to pull Arizona into a 71-71 tie with Iowa State and send the game into overtime.

Love has had a solid college career. He was the second leading scorer on the UNC team that made a surprise run to the Final Four in 2022 and was the best player on an Arizona team that reached the Sweet 16 last year. He might never have had a more highlight-packed game than what he did on Monday night, though.
