Arizona Upsets No. 3 Florida in Las Vegas

Freshman Koa Peat scored 30 points with seven rebounds, five assists, multiple steals and a block to lead No. 13 Arizona to a 93-87 upset of No. 3 and defending champion Florida at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Peat punctuated the nationally televised debut with consecutive thunderous dunks late and was fouled on a defensive rebound with 14.2 seconds remaining, sinking two free throws to seal the win. Jaden Bradley added 27 points, including an 11-point closing run, and Ivan Kharchenkov had 12 points and 10 rebounds as Arizona rallied from an early 12-point deficit while Florida cooled in the second half. Peat’s performance — as a five-star recruit, three-time Arizona Gatorade Player of the Year who led Gilbert Perry to four straight state titles and a member of Team USA’s U19 gold-medal team — underlined his status as a marquee incoming freshman.
