STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Rosco Allen had 24 points Saturday night and scored the winning basket with 3.2 seconds remaining to lift Stanford past Arizona State 75-73.

Marcus Allen added 13 points as the Cardinal (11-7, 4-3 Pac-12) beat the Sun Devils a fifth straight time at home. Michael Humphrey had 11.

Tra Holder scored 18 points for the Sun Devils (11-9, 1-6). Willie Atwood added 16 points and Obinna Oleka and Savon Goodman each added 11.

The Cardinal led most of the way, but Arizona State kept it close and took its first lead on Holder’s layup with 1:38 remaining to play.

The teams traded baskets and Dorian Pickens hit 1 of 2 foul shots to tie the game at 73 with 35.8 seconds to go.

Stanford made four of its first five 3-pointers and then made 1 of 12 over the next 25 minutes before Grant Verhoven and Allen hit consecutive 3-pointers in the final six minutes to open a 64-54 lead.

Stanford had an 11-point lead midway through the first half, though the Sun Devils used an 11-2 run to pull within 32-31 with just over four minutes left in the half.

Allen’s flagrant foul allowed Arizona State to score five unanswered points as part of the rally.

The Cardinal scored the final four points to take a 40-34 advantage into halftime.
