Long Beach State loses
Justin Dentmon scored 22 points -- including 13 of Washington’s 15 during a pivotal second-half stretch -- as the Huskies beat Long Beach State, 84-69, Monday night at Seattle.
Dentmon made his first six shots of the second half and generally was the only player doing much right until late in the game for Washington (4-2). The Huskies made only nine of 26 free throws and were out-rebounded for only the second time this season.
Artis Gant scored a career-high 15 points and Donovan Morris added 14 for Long Beach State (1-4).
Arizona State 75, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo 41 -- James Harden had 15 points and 10 rebounds, and Jeff Pendergraph scored 14 points as the Sun Devils won easily at Tempe, Ariz.
Arizona State (3-1) has won three straight, matching its longest win streak of a year ago, when the Sun Devils finished 8-22.
It was Arizona State’s biggest victory margin since it defeated Northwestern by 35 points on Dec. 20, 2004.
The Mustangs (3-3) had as many turnovers, eight, as baskets in the first half, when they shot 25.8%.
