It was only fitting that Jaelen House stepped to the free throw line to finish off the latest Arizona State victory. The sophomore guard out of Shadow Mountain High School did a little bit of everything to lead the No. 9 Sun Devils to a 64-59 win over No. 8 Washington State in first round playoff the Pac-12 tournament at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
ASU (11-13) advances to face top-seeded Oregon (19-5) at 12:30 p.m. Thursday.
Senior guard Alonzo Verge led all scorers with 26 points, including the go-ahead bucket with 11 seconds left but it was House who served as catalyst with eight points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals.
