Johnell Davis scored a season-high 35 points, and Caleb Love’s last-possession 3-pointer rattled out, as No. 14 Florida Atlantic won one of its biggest regular-season games in school history, knocking off No. 4 Arizona 96–95 in double overtime on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Davis made 15 of 27 shots for FAU (10–2), which is coming off a Final Four run but was in rare air with this kind of marquee showdown between highly ranked teams. Arizona (9–2) had a chance to win at the end, but Love, who scored a team-best 26 points, missed from about 25 feet.
