TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Alonzo Verge scored 20 points, Remy Martin added 18 and Arizona State held off Washington State's late rally for an 83-74 victory on Saturday night.
The Sun Devils (20-11, 11-7 Pac-12) were sharp early, building a 17-point lead before Washington State fought back.
The Cougars (15-16, 6-12) used a 17-2 run to tie the game at 65-all, but Arizona State senior Rob Edwards hit a corner 3 and Verge a jumper to push Arizona State's lead to seven.
The Sun Devils hit six straight free throws in the final 30 seconds to earn a coveted first-round bye at next week's Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas.
