Moorman’s bomb for UC Riverside sinks Arizona St. at horn
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — J.P. Moorman II made a three-quarter court shot at the buzzer and UC Riverside stunned Arizona State 66-65 on Thursday night.
A transfer from Temple, Moorman caught the inbound pass on the left side of the court, turned, heaved it 70 feet and hit nothing but net in front of a silent ASU home crowd. His toss followed Luther Muhammad’s layup with two seconds left that gave Arizona State a 65-63 lead.
Flynn Cameron scored 18 points on 6-for-8 shooting from 3-point range for the Highlanders (1-1). Moorman scored 14 with 11 rebounds and Zyon Pullin scored 10 with eight rebounds and eight assists.
The Highlanders’ largest lead was six points in the first half while Arizona State (1-1) posted a series of five-point margins after halftime.
Kimani Lawrence scored 19 points with 12 rebounds, Marcus Bagley scored 18 and Muhammad 11 for Arizona State.
UC Riverside moved its record to 1-6 all-time against Arizona State.
