Haley Jones lifts No. 3 Stanford past No. 21 Colorado in double overtime
Haley Jones dropped a total of 23 points, but none more timely than the 13 she scored during the two overtime periods in No. 3 Stanford's 73-62 win over No. 21 Colorado.
She also finished just three assists shy of a triple double as she grabbed 11 boards in a game-high 50 minutes of play in what was an absolute nail-biter until the very end. It did not look promising for the Cardinal who at one point trailed by a score of 13-0, and didn't get a point on the board until there was 1:14 remaining in the first quarter.
The win over Colorado not only marked the Cardinal's 10th straight victory over ranked opponents since losing to No. 1 South Carolina, but it also gave the Cardinal at least a share of the Pac-12 Championship with one game remaining on the schedule.
They have a chance to be the sole owners of the top spot if they knock off No. 8 Utah in what will be their final game of the regular season, before they head into the Pac-12 tournament.
The Cardinal also got big games from Hannah Jump and Lauren Betts off the bench who both added 14 points, with Betts hitting a clutch shot to send the game to the second overtime. Stanford's defense held the Buffs to just 28% shooting from the field, and held them to just 3-of-19 from three.
The Cardinal will have to travel to Utah for their final game of the season for all the marbles.
