Shonn Miller scored 19 points, but No. 18 UConn lost 73-70 to No. 10 Gonzaga on Friday in the third-place game of the tournament. For the second straight game, the Zags played a crucial stretch of the second half without Sabonis. Rodney Purvis had a chance to tie the game but missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer. The score was 70-66 when Miller got free for a dunk off a fast break. Gonzaga added a free throw, and a few possessions later Miller got a floater to go to make it 71-70. The Huskies came up empty on their next trip, but a shot-clock violation gave the Huskies a final possession with 8.1 seconds remaining. The Huskies did a much better job than they did in their semifinal loss to Texas A&M of finishing at the rim.
