Top-25 College Basketball Game Capsules

Storrs, CT (SportsNetwork.com) – Shabazz Napier scored 26 points and hit the game-winning basket at the buzzer, keeping Connecticut unbeaten with a thrilling 65-64 victory over Florida in a battle between top-15 teams at Gampel Pavilion. After Michael Frazier put the Gators up by one with a layup with 19 seconds left, the Huskies set up for the final shot following a Florida timeout. Napier threw up an off-balance shot from near the foul line that badly missed its mark, but the rebound caromed straight back to the senior guard and his second attempt was right on target as time expired. DeAndre Daniels added 14 points and seven rebounds for No. 12 Connecticut (8-0), which hung around with the more physical Gators by virtue of an 11-for-24 success rate from 3-point range. Casey Prather paced 15th-ranked Florida (6-2) with 19 points and seven rebounds. Patric Young finished with 17 points in the loss, while Scottie Wilbekin had 15 before rolling his right ankle with 3:01 remaining.
