STANFORD, CALIF. ? Chris Hernandez told himself to stay calm, refusing to think about the consequences if even one of his free throws were to miss its intended target.

One, two, three – just like in practice.

Hernandez sank three free throws with two-tenths of a second left in regulation to send the game into overtime and hit four more in the extra period, lifting Stanford to a thrilling 76-67 victory over No. 10 Washington on Sunday night.

“When you’re trying to shoot, the best thing to do is not think about what you have to do,” Hernandez said. “I’ve had that situation in high school a few times. I’ve been pretty successful.”

The Cardinal (10-7, 6-3 Pac-10) won their third straight to extend their home winning streak to eight games. It was their 13th straight victory over the Huskies at Maples Pavilion, where students charged the court after the final buzzer sounded.

“I don’t think it crossed my mind we were going to lose that game,” said Huskies leading scorer Brandon Roy, who finished with 25 points. “I’m still kicking myself. For the first time in basketball, I feel sorry for myself.”

Hernandez finished with 15 points and four assists after sitting the final 12:16 of the first half in foul trouble, and Matt Haryasz posted his fifth straight 20-point game with 24 points and 10 rebounds. He also made a gutsy pass to Hernandez in one crazy final minute of regulation.

Stanford guard Chris Hernandez, upper right, is fouled by Washington guard Justin Dentmon as Washington guard Brandon Roy (3) lunges for the ball in the final 0.2 seconds of regulation. Hernandez hit all three free throws to send the game into overtime, and Stanford went on to win, 76-67, Sunday in Stanford, Calif.

Roy spun through the lane for the go-ahead basket with 1:01 left in regulation, then came up with a big defensive play when he intercepted a bad pass by Mitch Johnson with three seconds left. Roy converted two free throws with 2.1 seconds remaining, but Stanford had a final chance.

“I’m always confident as long as there’s time on the clock,” Stanford coach Trent Johnson said. “It always helps having a guy who can step up to the free-throw line in that situation and keep his composure.”

Lawrence Hill inbounded from beneath Washington’s basket to a lunging Haryasz, who flipped the ball to Hernandez, and he quickly released a three from the right wing and got fouled by Justin Dentmon as the buzzer went off. The officials quickly huddled to review the play, put 0.2 back on the clock and gave Hernandez three free throws. He made all three and sent the game into overtime.

Before Hernandez even stepped to the line, the clock said 5:00 for overtime.

“It was a dumb foul,” said Dentmon, the freshman point guard. “I thought I got him after the buzzer, but the camera showed I didn’t. It was a mental mistake.”

No. 9 West Virginia 66, St. John’s 61

New York – West Virginia made just one field goal in the final 11 minutes and almost blew a 13-point lead in the last three minutes, but the Mountaineers managed to hang on.

Kevin Pittsnogle had 19 points for the Mountaineers (15-4, 6-0), who remained the only unbeaten team in the Big East. West Virginia was coming off a 58-52 loss to Marshall this week that snapped its 12-game winning streak.

No. 15 N.C. State 94, Clemson 85, 2OT

Clemson, S.C. – Ilian Evtimov scored 11 of his season-high 22 points in the two overtime periods to lead North Carolina State.

The Wolfpack (16-4, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) were on the verge of following an embarrassing 83-65 home loss to Seton Hall this past Wednesday with another defeat when Cliff Hammonds stepped to the foul line with the Tigers ahead 71-69 with 9.9 seconds to go.

No. 20 Boston Col. 66, Georgia Tech 64

Boston – Craig Smith scored 19 of his 25 points in the second half, adding 13 rebounds as the Eagles won their fourth straight ACC game since opening their inaugural season in the conference 0-3.

Smith, the conference’s co-player of the week, scored the first nine points in the second half for Boston College (16-4, 4-3 ACC) as it opened a 12-point lead with 13:57 to play.

Seton Hall 68, No. 25 Syracuse 61

Syracuse, N.Y. – Jamar Nutter and Donald Copeland each hit three-pointers in a 43-second span in the final two minutes to break a tie and help Seton Hall.
