Kansas led Arizona State for the first 37:37 of regulation (minus a few seconds at the beginning of the game at 0-0), and despite a 10-point first half lead, the game came down to the final possession.
A careless offensive foul on Lagerald Vick (and absolutely correct call by the officials) put the Jayhawks in quite a pickle with 47 seconds left and KU trailing by two. ASU would turn it over on a travelling violation with just 22 seconds to play, but KU’s ensuing possession was as sloppy as the one before it. A pass went through Dotson’s hands and into the backcourt, and ASU’s Rob Edwards iced the game at the free throw line to give the Sun Devils the 80-76 win.
