Arizona State stunned Arizona thanks to Desmond Cambridge Jr.'s spectacular buzzer-beater
Arizona State won on one of the wildest buzzer-beaters you’re likely to see this college basketball season.
While facing rival Arizona on the road Saturday, the Sun Devils and Wildcats went down to the wire as the game’s final seconds ticked down.
With a one-point lead in the game’s final minute, Arizona State attempted an ill-advised three that gave Arizona the ball back. The Wildcats hit with about 29 seconds to go to get the lead back by a point.
The Sun Devils couldn’t get anything going when they got the ball back on the possession change, and the Wildcats responded by drawing a foul and snagging one free throw to get ahead by two points.
However, Arizona State senior guard Desmond Cambridge Jr. wasn’t about to go down without a fight. He got the ball after the Arizona free throws with 2.9 seconds left and heaved a half-court shot that swished for the win.

The major bucket gave Arizona State the victory and sent No. 7 Arizona back to the locker room with a loss.
As far as buzzer-beaters go, we doubt you’ll see one this weekend as exciting as this one. Hats off to Cambridge for the astounding basket.
