Usf Stuns Stanford In Thriller
Pac-10/WCC/Big Sky
In San Francisco, Michael Colter hit a short bank shot with five seconds left to give San Francisco a 59-58 victory Tuesday night over No. 16 Stanford, which could not overcome a subpar game by star point guard Brevin Knight.
Arthur Lee, a freshman playing because Knight had fouled out, hit the second of two free throws with 33 seconds left to give Stanford, which had rallied from an 11-point deficit in the second half, a 58-57 lead.
Colter drove to the left side of the basket and hit his shot with 4.8 seconds left, and a last-second shot by Stanford’s Dion Cross missed.
