Not too long ago, Stanford was coming off a 6-7 nonconference season and a blown lead against Cal in its Pac-12 opener. Not too long ago, Arizona State was ranked No.3 in the country. How things have changed. Getting a big lift from reserve center Josh Sharma, the Cardinal dominated the Sun Devils for most of the second half but had to hang on at the end for their fifth straight win, 86-77 Wednesday night at Maples Pavilion. Sharma, a 7-foot junior averaging 4.1 points a game, unleashed five dunks and scored a season-high 14 points, hitting all seven of his field-goal tries.
