TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) --- Moe Odum had 33 points, eight assists and three steals on
Saturday night to help Arizona State beat Cincinnati 82-68 to snap a three-game
losing streak.
Odum made 10 of 17 from the field, 6 of 11 from 3-point range and 7 of 8 from
the free-throw line. Anthony Johnson added 11 points and Santiago Trouet 10 for
Arizona State (11-9, 2-5 Big 12). Massamba Diop had 10 rebounds to go with six
points and four blocks.
Baba Miller had 23 points, nine rebounds and five assists for Cincinnati
(10-10, 2-5) and Moustapha Thiam scored 15. Day Day Thomas and Jizzle James ---
who went into the game averaging 12.0 (second on the team) and 10.3 points
(fourth), respectively --- combined to make 3 of 13 from the field, 0 of 5 from
behind the arc, and score six points. Thomas, who was scoreless on 0-for-6
shooting, had six assists.
Cincinnati scored eight of the first 11 second-half points to take a one-point
lead with 16:49 left in the game, but Trouet answered with a 3-pointer, then
added a dunk and two free throws in a 19-7 run that gave the Sun Devils the
lead for good. Noah Meeusen hit a 3-pointer that made it 64-52 --- their
biggest lead of the game --- with nine minutes remaining.
Sencire Harris made layups 21 seconds apart to cap a 9-0 spurt that made it a
three-point game with 6:50 to go, but Odum responded with back-to-back
3-pointers and then added two free throws with 3:47 left that made it 74-63.
