Arizona State (20-9, 11-7 Pac-12) upset No. 7 Arizona (24-5, 13-5 Pac-12) 89-88 in an all-time classic Saturday afternoon in Tucson on the back of a miraculous buzzer-beater by Desmond Cambridge Jr.
Up 87-86 with 2.9 seconds to go in a back-and-forth classic between Arizona State and Arizona, Oumar Ballo (7 points, 3 rebounds) had to hit two free throws to ensure nothing less than a tie or win at the end of regulation for the Wildcats. The gym was silent awaiting the results of an exhausting game.
The first attempt–– clank, no good. Second shot, drained.
