SALT LAKE CITY – Utah guard Lazar Stefanovic sent the defense flying before hitting the step back three against the Arizona State Sun Devils.
The Utes hosted Arizona State at the Jon M. Huntsman Center on Saturday, February 26.
Stefanovic brought the ball up on the left hand side of the floor. At the elbow, Stefanovic used a hard right to left dribble, crossed back over, causing the Sun Devil defender to lose his feet and slide nearly 10 feet. Stefanovic then calmly stepped behind the three-point line and knocked down the shot, giving Utah a 23-20 lead with 8:25 left in the first half.
Skrrrrt!! 🔥🔥🔥
