PULLMAN (AP) – Tra Holder scored 16 points to lead Arizona State past Washington State 67-55 on Saturday afternoon.
Obinna Oleka and Andre Spight both scored 13 points for the Sun Devils (13-11, 3-8 Pac 12). Gerry Blakes added 11 points and seven rebounds.
The Cougars (9-14, 1-10), who have lost nine straight games, played without leading scorer and rebounder Josh Hawkinson. The junior forward suffered a sprained ankle Thursday against Arizona. Conor Clifford, WSU's starting center, had to be helped off the floor midway through the second half after suffering an apparent lower-body injury. He did not return.
