Arizona St. takes advantage of late turnover to eliminate UM women and earn Sweet 16 berth

Miami couldn’t in-bound the ball.

When the host Hurricanes’ women’s basketball team looks back at Sunday night’s heartbreaking 57-55 loss to 22nd-ranked and fifth-seeded Arizona State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, their failure to make a clean pass will likely haunt them the most.

With the score tied 55-55 and 10 seconds left, Miami’s Endia Banks tried to throw the ball in to set up a final play. Best-case scenario for Miami at that moment was a bucket and a win. Worst-case scenario appeared to be a missed shot at the buzzer and overtime.
