December 20, 2011

Darnell Dodson sank a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Southern Mississippi a 64-61 victory over Arizona State on Monday night.

Arizona State rallied from 11 down in the final four minutes to tie it on two free throws by Keala King with five seconds to go. Dodson took the inbound pass, dribbled downcourt and let it fly from about a foot behind the 3-point line.

Dodson scored all 17 of his points and LaShay Page all 14 of his in the second half for the Golden Eagles (9-2), who trailed 30-21 at the break.

King scored 16 for the Sun Devils (4-7).

Torve Pelham of Southern Mississippi and Arizona State's Ruslan Pateev were ejected after a flare-up with 12:14 remaining. Pelham had 10 rebounds at the time.
