Arizona State's Obinna Oleka slams over Ryan Anderson

Published Jan. 3, 2016 9:31 p.m. ET

Arizona State made a furious second-half comeback attempt on Sunday afternoon at home against in-state rival Arizona.

Trailing 74-58 with 5:37 remaining, the Sun Devils went on a 14-4 run to make it a two-possession game. Arizona State junior forward Obinna Oleka capped that rally with a one-handed slam over Arizona senior Ryan Anderson with 2:50 remaining in regulation.

The Sun Devils kept it a six-point game in the final minute, however, that comeback bid was ended when head coach Bobby Hurley picked up his second technical foul -- and was ejected -- for arguing a foul call with 59.6 seconds left.
