TEMPE, Ariz — Alonzo Verge Jr. scored on a layup with 10.9 seconds left and Remy Martin led Arizona State's comeback from a 22-point deficit, lifting the Sun Devils to a 66-65 victory over No. 22 Arizona.

The Wildcats shook off a shaky start with a massive run, building the 22-point lead midway through the first half. The Sun Devils stormed back with a 16-0 run spanning halftime, putting a charge into an already-lit-up home crowd. The rivals traded blows the rest of the way until Verge scored on a contested layup to put the Sun Devils up one. Arizona got a final look, but Josh Green was bumped and couldn't get a shot to the rim.
