TEMPE, Arizona (Ticker) -- After a visit to Anaheim, California for the 76 Classic, Arizona State will not have to go far for the next month.

The 19th-ranked Sun Devils return home on Thursday to host Jackson State.

Four of Arizona State's next six games will be at home with the other two contests taking place on a "neutral court." The Sun Devils face IUPUI in Phoenix and Brigham Young in Glendale, Arizona later in December.

Sophomore James Harden scored a career-high 40 points in the win on 14-of-25 shooting, 6-of-7 from the arc. Harden is averaging 27.0 points and 6.8 rebounds.

The Tigers, who are playing the second game of an eight-game road trip, are coming off a 73-59 setback to Stephen F. Austin on Tuesday.

Grant Maxey is scoring 16 points per contest to lead Jackson State.
