-----------------------------------

PALO ALTO, California -- Chris Hernandez and Stanford miraculously found a way to continue Washington's struggles at Maples Pavilion.

Matt Haryasz had 24 points and 10 rebounds and Hernandez added 15 points as the Cardinal posted a 76-67 upset victory over ninth-ranked the Huskies in a Pac-10 Conference thriller.

Things did not look good for Stanford as Brandon Roy scored four straight points to help Washington (16-4, 5-4 Pac-10) grab a 63-60 advantage with just two seconds left in the second half. The Huskies, who were looking to snap a 12-game losing streak here, then committed a major sin before the end of regulation.

Inbounded the ball from the opposite endline, Haryasz caught a half-court pass and found Hernandez streaking down the right sideline. With the clock winding down, the senior guard was fouled by Roy trying to get off a 3-point attempt before the buzzer.

An 86 percent shooter from the stripe, Hernandez sank his first two attempts before rattling in the third to force overtime, completely switching the game's momentum.

In the extra session, the Cardinal (10-7, 6-3) wasted no time taking control as they opened with an 11-2 burst and never looked back. Haryasz and Hernandez combined to score seven points during the stretch.

Meanwhile, Washington never found its touch as it managed only four points in the overtime, missing all six shots from the field. Overall, it shot just 34 percent (12-of-35) after the break.

Lawrence Hill collected 12 points, seven rebounds and six blocks for the Cardinal, who shot 42 percent (22-of-52) overall and scored 24 second-chance points.

Stanford has now won eight consecutive games here in Maples since dropping its home opener with a 79-63 setback to UC-Irvine on November 19.

Haryasz, who missed two games in November with an ankle injury, has been a major factor in the resurgence of the Cardinal after an early-season swoon that featured four losses in their first six games.

In the last five games, the senior center has averaged 24.4 points on 70 percent (43-of-61) shooting. He has also pulled down 9.2 rebounds as Stanford has gone 4-1 in that stretch.

Roy finished with 25 points and Jamaal Williams added 15 for the Washington, which shot 36 percent (26-of-71), but made just 2-of-17 shots from the arc.
