Arizona State’s final contest of the Pac-12’s first half unfolded similarly to the other eight. The Sun Devils showed they could compete for a significant stretch, but not for the entire 40 minutes, which is not good enough to win in this season’s competitive conference.
Oregon’s Chris Boucher flirted with a triple-double and the Pac-12-leading Ducks pulled away in the second half with a 91-74 win at Wells Fargo Arena. Completing the desert road sweep, No. 23 Oregon improved to 18-4 and 7-2 in the conference.
ASU arrived at the midpoint at 12-10 and 2-7 in the Pac-12, not necessarily a team in crisis, but a team in need of better consistency.
