Arizona State hosts Washington in Pac-10 clash

Jan 31, 2009 - 11:24 AM Washington (15-5) at No. 14 Arizona State (16-4), 5:30 p.m. EST

TEMPE, Arizona (Ticker) -- Arizona State's offense has not been up to par recently. It will have to be if the Sun Devils want to keep pace with Washington.

The 14th-ranked Sun Devils look to bounce back from a loss when they host Washington in a Pac-10 Conference contest on Saturday.

Over its last four games, Arizona State (16-4, 5-3 Pac-10) has averaged 54.5 points and the Sun Devils shot 37 percent (19-of-51) in a 65-55 setback to Washington State on Thursday.

James Harden scored 26 points in the loss, which was Arizona State's first in 10 home games this season.

Washington (15-5, 6-2), which averages a conference-best 79.9 points, had its four-game winning streak snapped with a 106-97 loss to Arizona on Thursday. The teams combined for 128 points in the second half as the Huskies lost sole possession of first place in the Pac-10.

Jon Brockman had 27 points and 16 rebounds in the loss and is averaging 15.9 and 10.9 for the season. Freshman Isaiah Thomas leads the Huskies in scoring at 16.3 per game.

The teams split last season's series with each winning on the opposition's home court.
