CORVALLIS, Ore. — This one hurt.
Washington freshman guard Dejounte Murray tracked Stephen Thompson Jr. the length of the court and ran side by side with the Oregon State freshman guard. Thompson Jr. had just 3.3 seconds to get off a miracle shot and he ran to the three-point line and launched a long jumper with Murray in his face and extending both hands.
The ball hung in the air for what seemed like a lifetime before settling in the net as the buzzer sounded — giving the Beavers an improbable 82-81 victory on Wednesday.
The Huskies stood in disbelief as many of the 5,593 at Gill Coliseum ran on the court and swarmed the Beavers.
