LAS VEGAS (AP) — Some may say Arizona State freshman Luguentz Dort flew under the radar as a recruit out of Montreal.

Five games into the season, the cat's out of the bag.

Luguentz Dort scored 33 points and Arizona State beat Utah State 87-82 on Wednesday night to win the heavyweight bracket of the MGM Main Event.

Dort's tally placed him third in program history for single-game scoring by a freshman, behind Mario Bennett (35 in 1992) and Jahii Carson (34 in 2013).
