March Madness is time comebacks and buzzer beaters, and Stanford pulled both off to begin championship week.
Down 69-55 late in the second half, Stanford pulled off a 16-1 run and beat Arizona State 71-70 on a James Keefe put-back as time expired.
Arizona State led at halftime 31-27, then opened the second half on a 19-6 run to take a 17-point lead. However, the Cardinal stormed back, outscoring the Sun Devils 38-20 the rest of the way, including that final run to move onto the next round.
After the game, Keefe couldn’t explain how he pulled it off.
