Watch: Arizona State stuns No. 7 Arizona with half-court buzzer-beater

The Arizona State Sun Devils significantly improved their NCAA Tournament resume on Saturday with a stunning 89-88 win over in-state rival and No. 7-ranked Arizona.

Not only did they win, they won in the most dramatic way possible, nailing a half-court buzzer beater just as time expired on the contest.

With less than three seconds to play in regulation and the Sun Devils trailing 88-86 with no timeouts remaining, Desmond Cambridge Jr. hit a 60-foot shot from the other side of the half-court line to lift ASU to the win.

Nothing but net, too. An absolutely perfect shot just casually hit in what could be a season-defining victory

This win in the books, Arizona State improved to 20-9 on the season overall (11-7 in Pac-12 play) while adding huge building-block for NCAA tournament purposes.
