Arizona State 69, Arizona 66 (2 OT)

TEMPE, Ariz. — Guard Jermaine Marshall scored 29 points, including the go-ahead basket with 14.7 seconds in the second overtime, and Arizona State bolstered its NCAA Tournament resume with a 69-66 victory over second-ranked Arizona at Wells Fargo Arena.

Marshall poured in eight points in the second overtime, including two 3-pointers in the final minute and a half.

After Marshall gave the Sun Devils a 67-66 lead, Arizona point guard T.J. McConnell drove the lane and attempted a scoop shot that was swatted by center Jordan Bachynski, the NCAA leader in blocked shots.

The ball caromed upcourt to Arizona State point guard Jahii Carson, who dunked in the final second, causing the student section to rush the court.

Officials ruled there was 0.7 of a second remaining, however, giving Arizona a final shot. Guard Nick Johnson got off an attempt from about 35 feet that hit the front of the rim.

Carson scored 17 points for Arizona State, which improved to 19-6 and 8-4 in the Pac-12.

Arizona (23-2, 10-2) had a chance to win at the end of the first overtime, but Johnson missed a step-back 18-footer, with the ball going out of bounds to Arizona State with 1.8 seconds left. Carson got off a half-court short at the buzzer, but it was not close.

McConnell had 17 points to lead Arizona and Johnson scored 14. Center Kaleb Tarczewski (13 points, 13 rebounds) and forward Aaron Gordon (13 points, 10 rebounds) each had double-doubles.

Arizona State, which has won six of its past seven games, led 51-46 with 2:38 to go in regulation, but Gordon completed a three-point play to bring the Wildcats within two. After each team missed shots, a steal by Arizona forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson led to a tying layup by McConnell with 47 seconds to go.

Arizona State squandered its chance for the lead when too much dribbling from Carson led to a shot-clock violation. Arizona had about 11 seconds left for the final shot, but Gordon drew air after a spin move in the lane.

Defenses dominated the game early. By the second media timeout, the teams had combined to make 5 of 20 shots from the field and were 0 of 4 from the free throw line.

Scoring picked up from there, with the Wildcats finishing with something of a flourish, scoring 13 points in the final 5:18. Johnson, who was scoreless until that point, had nine points in the half-ending run.

Marshall, the team’s second-leading scorer (15.6 points per game) who missed the season’s first game against Arizona because of a groin injury, kept the Sun Devils close in the first half with 12 points.

Arizona has taken its largest lead of the half at 20-14 with 3:51 to go on Tarczewski’s jumper, but Marshall responded with a 3-pointer and a jumper on the following possession.

Johnson ended the half with a driving layup with five seconds left to give Arizona a 26-21 lead.

Arizona State shot 29.6 percent from the field (8 of 27) in the first half and Arizona was at 36.7 percent (11 of 30).
