TEMPE, Ariz. – The Sun Devil women's basketball team nearly came up with what would have been the second-largest comeback in NCAA Division I history. Trailing by 29 points with two minutes remaining in the second quarter, the Sun Devils fought back to get within six points with just over two minutes remaining in regulation before ultimately falling to Utah, 72-63 on Sunday.
It was nearly déjà vu all over again for the Sun Devils (9-6, 1-1 Pac-12), who in February of 2019 scored the last 20 points of the game to overcome an 18-point deficit over the same Utah Utes to post their biggest comeback in school history (tied for 10th largest deficit in NCAA annals).
