What else but the game winner from Rosco Allen could be @StanfordBball's #12Best Moment?! https://t.co/yPkqlw9d2f

In typical Stanford fashion, the Cardinal nearly squandered a double-digit lead against the Devils. The momentum nearly turned after Stanford surrendered a five-point play to ASU.
Yes, you heard that right. A five-point play.
Folks. @SunDevilHoops just had a FIVE POINT PLAY. Tune into #Pac12Hoops: https://t.co/YfMNDWLu5w https://t.co/wZ4Bs6cg3m

But Stanford held on after Rosco Allen put the Cardinal ahead for good on a coast-to-coast layup with just seconds left.
Rosco led the team with 24 points, followed by Marcus Allen with 13. The Cardinal bench was led by recent sensation Grant Verhoeven, who chipped in 9 key points. Stanford won despite being out-rebounded by the Devils, 37-30.
Oh and one more notable thing about tonight: Stanford Athletics apparently decided it was a good idea to bill tonight's game as "Rec Sports Night." So they placed a set of exercise bikes for students to ride in part of the student section and billed it as "Tour de Stanford."
What's up w/ the bikes at @StanfordBball? Our SPOKESmen @tedjrobinson + Donnie Mac [wait for it] PEDDLE the scoop https://t.co/Cn5atOvxsE

Rosco Allen thwarts ASU's comeback attempt with a driving layup in the final seconds. Stanford now 4-3 in the Pac-12.
