Las Vegas, NV (Sports Network) – Jahii Carson set a Pac-12 Tournament Freshman record with a career-high 34 points, and Arizona State recovered from blowing an eight-point lead late in regulation to earn an 89-88 overtime decision over Stanford in a first-round matchup.<\/p>\n
Carrick Felix added 19 points and Evan Gordon contributed 16 off the bench for the ninth-seeded Sun Devils (21-11), who will next take on regular-season champion UCLA in Thursday’s quarterfinals.<\/p>\n
Aaron Bright finished with 27 points while hitting 6-of-12 attempts from 3- point range for eighth-seeded Stanford (18-14), with Dwight Powell and Josh Huestis scoring 23 and 17 points, respectively, in the loss.<\/p>\n
The Sun Devils held a 75-67 advantage with 1:26 left in the second half, before Stanford closed the period on a 12-4 run to force extra time.<\/p>\n
Bright accounted for seven of those points during the spurt and was fouled after knocking down a triple with 38 seconds to go that pulled the Cardinal within 79-78. He then sank the ensuing bonus shot to tie it, and Carson missed a 3-point try at the buzzer to bring on the overtime session.<\/p>\n
Powell scored the first basket of the additional frame to put Stanford in front, but the Sun Devils responded with a 9-2 burst — during which Carson had the first five points — to take an 88-83 lead with 14 seconds remaining in OT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
