Jordan Pope's clutch 3-pointer at the buzzer secured a stunning 83-80 upset victory for the Oregon State Beavers over the ninth-ranked Arizona Wildcats on Thursday night. The exhilarating finish at Gill Coliseum sent the home crowd into a frenzy as they stormed the court to celebrate the memorable win.
Pope's heroics included a career-high 31 points, with four crucial 3-pointers in the second half. The game-winner came from a 22-foot shot on the left wing, released just in the nick of time over the outstretched arm of Arizona's KJ Lewis. Reflecting on his game-winning shot, Pope expressed his joy, calling it the biggest shot of his career. 'I saw daylight, and I took the shot,' Pope said. 'It feels great. I've put in a lot of work my whole life.'
