TEMPE, Ariz. -The Arizona State men's basketball team closed Saturday night's contest on a 16-0 run in less than five minutes, forcing eight USC turnovers in the span, but were unable to overcome a hot-shooting Trojan team in a 77-69 setback at Desert Financial Arena.
The Sun Devils' furious run enabled Warren Washington to tie his career high in points with 21. Desmond Cambridge Jr. also had 15, his fourth straight contest in double-figures.
Despite two straight defeats, ASU still has 15 wins in its first 20 games for just the eighth time in the last 50 years and six wins in league play for just the second time since 2000.
