TEMPE – The Sun Devil women's basketball team came up short in what would have been the biggest comeback in program history in a 90-83 loss to Iowa State on Wednesday.
Down by as many as 20, the Sun Devils (8-8, 2-2 Big 12) kept pushing forward, eventually getting the Cyclones' lead down to as few as three points with 13 seconds remaining in the game.
That's as wide of an opening the Cyclones (11-6, 2-2 Big 12) would allow the Sun Devils. After shooting 57 percent (12-21) from the line in the first three quarters, Iowa State connected on 82 percent (14-17) of its attempts in the fourth quarter, including a perfect 4-4 in the final 12 seconds to clinch the win.
