ASU Hands Stanford OT Upset

Posted Feb 15, 08 4:53 AM CST in Sports 

(Newser) – No. 7 Stanford's seven-game win streak is over, and Arizona State's 4-0 overtime record intact, after an up-and-down 72-68 upset. James Harden had eight of the Sun Devils' 12 points in an overtime that wouldn't have happened if Stanford hadn't made a determined comeback in the second half, the Arizona Republic reports.

Harden finished with 23 points, including the final four of regulation, and his team outdid the Cardinal 16-14 on offensive rebounding, which for Stanford is usually a strength. "They beat us with what we beat teams with," said Brook Lopez, whose 30 points led his team. Lopez' twin brother Robin put up 15 points and 8 rebounds in the loss.
