Tempe, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rihards Kuksiks had 27 points and nine rebounds
as Arizona State downed No. 24 Washington, 68-51, in a Pac-10 battle at Wells-
Fargo Arena.
Ty Abbott had 17 points while Trent Lockett donated 11 points for the Sun
Devils (11-5, 1-2 Pac-10), who snapped a two-game slide.
Isaiah Thomas had 20 points and five rebounds and Elston Turner had 10 points
for the Huskies (10-4, 1-2), who have dropped their past two games.
After Kuksiks buried a three-ball to give Arizona State a 6-2 lead a bit over
three minutes in, neither side scored for the next four minutes until Tyreese
Breshers put in a layup for Washington.
The Sun Devils continued to lead through the first half and five straight
free throws gave the team a 22-11 lead after Abbott put in two from the line
with under five minutes to play.
Lockett hit two free throws late in the half for the final points of the first
20 minutes to give Arizona State a 28-19 lead heading into the break.
Early in the second half, Kuksiks hit consecutive three balls and then a slam
to give the Sun Devils a 36-21 lead early.
From there Arizona State maintained its double-digit lead and held a 57-39
advantage on a pair of Derek Glasser free throws with a little over six
minutes to play.
Venoy Overton's layup with 2 1/2 minutes to play cut Washington's deficit to
12 points, but the team was unable to get any closer as the Sun Devils held on
for the win.
