Arizona State Sun Devils vs. Arizona Wildcats: Game Highlights

The Wildcats (20-10, 14-5 Big 12) won the first meeting this season in a game that got so testy at the end Arizona State coach Bobby Hurley pulled his players off the floor before the handshake line.

The rematch had far less animosity, and the scrappy Sun Devils (13-17, 4-15) managed to keep it close late despite being down to five scholarship players after starting guard Adam Miller was injured in the first 28 seconds.

Arizona wore down the Sun Devils, shooting 59% with a 52-30 advantage in the paint to earn a bye into the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament. KJ Lewis added 21 points.

Alston Mason led Arizona State with 33 points.

Arizona had a hard time shaking the Sun Devils until Basheer Jihad (15 points) and Shawn Phillips (14) fouled out in the final 5:12, leaving Arizona State with four scholarship players. The Wildcats pulled away after Arizona State had cut the lead to three.

Takeaways Arizona State: The Sun Devils shot 12 of 23 from 3-point range, but wore down against Arizona's depth.
