Arizona State’s plan in the second half was to attack the post. The No. 25 Sun Devils went back one final time and found something they weren’t expecting.
It was Sam Timmins.
Washington’s sophomore center, with less than 15 seconds left, produced a game-saving block in a 68-64 win over ASU on Thursday at the Alaska Airlines Arena.
The win sets up another chapter in what’s been the most pivotal week in Mike Hopkins’ first season. Consecutive wins over rival Washington State and now ASU, creates a Saturday showdown against No. 9 Arizona.
