Jasper, who transferred from Kentucky during Billy Gillispie's coaching tenure, had 12 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals for the Runnin' Rebels.

"Anytime you go into double overtime, you see everybody just step it up and that's what happened tonight," said Jasper. "I saw a little bit of miscommunication among the Arizona players at the end and they just left me wide open." (Quotes: ESPN.com)
