5. Jan. 9, 1999

No. 8 Arizona 88
Washington 86

Richard Jefferson only scored 13 points against the Huskies, but his last bucket was one of the most memorable in McKale Center history.

With time winding down and the score tied, Jason Terry launched a fadeaway three-pointer. The ball fell short of the rim, but Jefferson was in the perfect spot to catch the ball and proceeded to drop it through the hoop with no time remaining.

Jefferson took in the admiration of the McKale faithful after jumping on a table behind the hoop.

Fun Fact : Jefferson’s buzzer beater was the same day Arizona retired Steve Kerr’s No. 25 jersey into the rafters.
