Arizona State, coming off a comeback win at Stanford on Friday in which it led for only the last 31 seconds, hopes to keep its momentum going at California on Sunday in Berkeley, Calif. The Sun Devils' win, which snapped a three-game losing streak, was highlighted by seven straight points by Alonzo Gaffney. The stretch included a dunk with 1:34 left that tied the game at 73. Frankie Collins' pull-up jumper with 31 seconds left gave the Sun Devils their first lead of the game. Arizona State (7-5, 1-0 Pac-12) trailed by as many as 12 points in the second half. "We were able to use our quickness to get a couple of key defensive deflections late in the game," Arizona State coach Bobby Hurley said. "After Christmas now, it's like we're zero and zero, and let's see what we can get done in the conference." Hurley leads the Pac-12 with 42 comebacks after trailing at halftime in his tenure dating to the 2015-16 season. Transfers Adam Miller (from LSU) and Kamari Lands (Louisville) led Arizona State with 13 points each. California (4-8, 0-1) lost 100-81 at home against No. 4 Arizona on Friday night, nine days after defeating visiting UC San Diego. Jaylon Tyson had 22 points and 10 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the year and Jalen Celestine added 14 points. The Golden Bears outscored Arizona 55-46 in the second half while making 55.9 percent of their shots, including 7 of 17 shots from 3-point range. California missed its first 10 shots from beyond the arc and finished 2 of 14 from there in the first half. "(Arizona) just played hard; they're always going to come out with that championship-level intensity," Celestine said. "The first half, we just didn't match it, and we can't wait for the second half to do it." California first-year coach Mark Madsen said he was impressed with how his players "battled back" in the second half. "We fought, we scrapped, we had tenacity," Madsen said. "I was proud of how the guys responded in the second half. We put two halves together like that, we're going to be the team we want to become." —Field Level Media Relatedsports betting calculatorsparlay calculatormoneyline bet calculationshalf point odds calculatorkelly criterion calculatorhedge calculator for sports bettingbetting the spreadover/under bettingparlay oddsround robin betting explainedev bettingis hedge betting illegal

Market: Doncaster win
Odds: 4/5 @
Two sides who already find themselves scrapping it out at opposite ends of the League Two table, a high-flying Doncaster will travel to Harrogate on Thursday night.
Starting with the hosts, while some in Harrogate’s camp might have opened up the 2024/25 campaign with their sights set on mounting a genuine top-half charge this season, Simon Weaver’s men are at the heart of a real struggle. Last seen putting in another toothless display as they slumped to a 1-0 loss away at Cheltenham, the Yorkshire-based outfit have collected just a single victory from any of their opening five League Two appearances. Crashing out of the EFL Cup on August 27th following a woeful 5-0 drumming at home against Preston, Harrogate have also shown …
“I have belief in my ability and what I have done in my career as every player should,” Maguire said.
“Every player who is on the bench should believe they should be starting, otherwise they wouldn’t be playing at a high level. I am no different.
“Listen, it’s been tough. I want to play games. I want to feel important to the club and I want to feel important to the rest of the team.
“At the moment I haven’t been playing anywhere near as much as I’d like. It’s the bottom line of it.
“I’ve just got to make sure I am ready to take the opportunities when they come along.”
Asked when gametime becomes an issue and, given Euro 2024 is coming up, whether that could be sooner rather than later, said: “Yeah, of course.

Rangers won a second straight Old Firm derby and moved four points ahead of Celtic in the Scottish Premiership as an unlikely double from Connor Goldson secured a 2-0 victory.
Defender Goldson struck in the ninth minute and added another after the break on Saturday as Steven Gerrard s men made it two straight away league wins over Celtic for the first time in 23 years.
Celtic were without key players like striker Odsonne Edouard but few would have expected Neil Lennon s team not to register a shot on target or have a second-half attempt of any nature until the 85th minute in a miserable outing.
Rangers now hold a decent lead over their fierce rivals at the summit and, while Celtic still have a game in hand, Garrard can reflect on a positive first quarter of t…
Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez believes match-winner Jhon Duran can be “one of the best strikers in the world” after he scored a 30-yard screamer against Everton.

The Colombian was subbed on after 69 minutes and scored just seven minutes later. All three of his goals this season have been winners from the bench, meaning he has now scored the most winners as a substitute in a Premier League season ever.
Having witnessed his decisive impact today, Martinez believes he can be one of the best in the game.
