TEMPE, Ariz.— Arizona State (2-1) junior guard Frankie Collins went the length of the floor without hesitation in a tie game Thursday to cap off an improbable comeback effort. Blowing by two Riverhawks defenders at the top of the key, Collins switched the ball mid-flight from his right hand to his left, flipping the ball up and under for the lead with under two seconds remaining.
A 13-2 run to erase an 11-point deficit in the final 2:05 of the second half gave ASU their second win of the season in memorable fashion. The Sun Devils hit their final seven shots in the game, with none being more important than Collins’ savvy finish.
