Jaelen House, Alonzo Verge spark ASU past Washington State in Pac-12 opener

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.
