Beavers Fall To Arizona State, 75-73
TEMPE, Ariz. – Despite an off-shooting night, Remy Martin scored 23 points and his 3-pointer with 37 seconds left broke a 68-all tie and Arizona State held on to beat Oregon State 75-73 in a wild finish on Sunday night at Desert Financial Arena.
Martin's go-ahead 3 was the only one he made in a 1-for-6 effort from behind the arc; part of a 5-for-18 overall effort. He made up for it, however, sinking 12 of 16 free throws.
Martin and Holland Woods each sank a pair of foul shots in a 13-second span to seal the win for Arizona State (7-9, 4-6 Pac-12).
Oregon State's Ethan Thompson made the first of two free throws with 13 seconds left to bring the Beavers within 73-71. Rodrigue Andela secured the offensive rebound and threw it out to Thompson, but a heads-up steal by Jalen House forced a tie-up between Woods and Thompson and the possession arrow favored Arizona State. Woods sank a pair of fouls shots with five seconds to go.
Thompson led Oregon State with 18 points and four assists. Jarod Lucas made four 3-poiners to finish with 15 points, and Warith Alatishe grabbed 10 rebounds.
Gianni Hunt and Andela scored eight points apiece off the bench.
The win was the Sun Devils' 12th straight at home against Oregon State (10-10, 6-8 Pac-12).
The Beavers return to Gill Coliseum this week to face Utah at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday (Pac-12 Network) and Colorado at 5 p.m. on Saturday (ESPNU).
