Guard Arthur Thomas scored 25 points for Arizona State.

“We had a number of opportunities to put them away,” said Arizona State Coach Steve Patterson, “but they didn’t quit. I thought Eric Holloway had a terrific game. He’s been in a slump lately, so this was a step up for him.”

It was the the Sun Devils’ first conference road victory since Dec. 22.
