No. 16 @SunDevilHoops Can't Complete Comeback, Falls At Stanford 86-77

 By Evan Millstein, SDA Student Assistant 

Arizona State cut Stanford's 15-point lead to two with just over four minutes to play, but it was ultimately the Cardinal (11-8, 5-1 Pac-12) who took control down the stretch to beat ASU (14-4, 2-4 Pac-12) 86-77.
 
Like his previous outing, Shannon Evans II rallied the gritty Sun Devil squad, cashing in on eight straight buckets forcing the home team to call a timeout with 5:36 remaining. Minutes later Kodi Justice and Tra Holder connected on three-point attempts cutting the Cardinal lead to the slimmest it's been since the break.

The Sun Devils' leading scorer, Romello White, split a pair of free-throws at the 1:58 mark to bring the Devils within five. That would be enough for Stanford as free throws and quick baskets against the press defense would finish off ASU.
 
White tallied 19 points while earning 11 from the charity stripe.
 
Justice and Evans II also recorded double digits in scoring, adding 14 and 13 from the wing spots. Mickey Mitchell hit his first and second three-pointers of the season to go along with his seven rebounds and nine points.
 
Guard Remy Martin continues to prove as one of the premier sixth men in the Pac-12. The spirited freshman scored 11 points while dishing out a team-high five assists in 26 minutes.
