GLENDALE, Ariz. — Referees overturned a basket by BYU's Charles Abouo at the buzzer today, preserving No. 20 Arizona State's 76-75 come-from-behind victory over the previously unbeaten Cougars.

James Harden made the last of his 21 free throw attempts with nine seconds left to give Arizona State (9-1) its first lead of the second half. Harden scored 21 of his 30 points after halftime, and finished 16-of-21 at the line.

Jonathan Tavernari scored 24 for BYU (10-1). Jeff Pendergraph had 22 points and nine rebounds for the victorious Sun Devils.
