Three free throws by Arizona State's Rob Edwards (fouled on a 3-point attempt) with 58 seconds left cut the lead to 78-75. After Pritchard missed a layup and White failed on a 3-pointer, the Sun Devils had a chance to tie the game.

But a 25-foot 3-pointer by Dort missed and King was fouled. He made one of two free throws with 10 seconds left to give Oregon the 79-75 lead. Pritchard grabbed the offensive rebound after the second miss and the Ducks' dribbled out the clock.

With the score tied at 67-67 in regulation, Arizona State turned the ball over on a shot-clock violation with 1:02 left, and Pritchard missed a layup on the other end.

The Sun Devils called a timeout with 28 seconds left to set up the last shot.

Martin missed a contested jumper with eight seconds to play. Dort corralled the offensive rebound and passed to Edwards, whose 3-point attempt at the buzzer fell short.
