Kemba Walker's jumper lifted No. 9 UConn to a victory over No. 12 Texas in overtime on Saturday afternoon.

Walker made a desperate from-the-hip three-pointer, then nailed the game-winner from about 15 feet with 5 seconds left for a tough 82-81 victory.

The 3-pointer came with a second left on the shot clock and put the Huskies ahead 80-77.

"I felt like I owed it to my team," Walker said of his effort in overtime. "I felt like I would get my shot and make it."

Walker, who finished with 22 points, had seven in overtime and shot 8-for-27 from the field.
