While everyone else stood and watched Torian Graham’s 3-pointer sail to the basket and ricochet of the rim, Arizona State junior guard Tra Holder was on the move. The 6-foot-1 Holder snagged the offensive rebound and was fouled on the putback attempt with 1.9 seconds left.
Two converted free throws later, and ASU (9-7) walked out of Wells Fargo Arena with a 78-77 win over Colorado and a 2-1 record in Pac-12 play.
Afterward, Holder said it was just good luck.
“At the end of games, I just try to crash the boards and get extra opportunities for us,” Holder said.
