LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Sophie Brunner scored 18 points, including the game-winner with six seconds left in overtime, to lead Arizona State over No. 15 Kentucky 73-71 on Sunday.

Brunner took an inbounds pass among several defenders in the paint before making a fadeaway jumper from the left side as she fell. Kentucky's Makayla Epps was short on a 3-pointer.

Taylor Murray raced into the paint to follow Evelyn Akhator's missed shot and tie it at 71. Murray was fouled but missed the free throw setting up ASU's final possession.
