Keyshawn Hall began wrapping up a 40-point night with a short jumper with 1:26 to play that took two bounces off the rim before finding the bottom of the net as Central Florida downed Arizona State 95-89 on Tuesday in Tempe, Ariz.Hall’s good luck gave the Knights (12-4, 3-2 Big 12) an 89-86 lead, and Darius Johnson knocked down two free throws within the next 1:04 to essentially put the Sun Devils (10-6, 1-4) away for good.Alston Mason drilled a 3-pointer for Arizona State with 10 seconds to go, but the shot was sandwiched by four free throws from Hall, who set a career high in points.Though the lead changed hands several times in the second half, UCF was the more composed team down the stretch. Johnson finished with 17 points and seven assists.BJ Freeman led Arizona State with 26 points, while Jayden Quaintance supplied 20 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots before fouling out.After a wild first half in which Hall scored 29 of his points on 11-of-13 shooting, the Knights went up by 12, 65-53, thanks in part to four 3-pointers in less than four minutes to open the second half.
