WSU (6-10, 1-4 in Pac-12) trailed by 11 late in the game, but surged right back into it with a 8-0 run to pull within three with 4:18 to go. ASU (12-3. 3-1) halted the Cougar comeback right in its tracks, delivering a 6-0 run for the knockout blow.
ASU could seemingly do nothing wrong in the first four minutes of play. Every tough shot taken by ASU was rewarded by the rim with the home roll and in.
