LAS VEGAS - Rarely does an opposing team give the gift of an 0-for-10 scoring drought.
When they do, it is usually an invitation for the other team to separate itself. Arizona State (21-11) accepted Oregon State’s (11-21) invitation, and created a distant enough scoring gap to withstand multiple late-Beaver runs to win 63-57 in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Like the previous wins against Oregon State, points came at a minimum, especially early in the game. ASU was shooting just 33% from the field before guard Desmond Cambridge Jr (13 points).
