PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) - Chris Colvin's career high 18 points led all scorers but it wasn't enough as Cougars DaVonte Lacy scored 17 points and Brock Motum added 16 as Washington State topped Arizona State 72-50 on Saturday.

Colvin, a junior guard, in the past 11 games is averaging nine points per game (third on the team) and has a team-best 44 assists in 29.3 minutes per game. He has five double-figure scoring games in that time, including a career-best 18 at Washington State (Feb. 18), 16 vs. Washington State on Jan. 28 and 15 at Colorado on Jan. 19.

The Cougars (14-13, 6-9 Pac-12) jumped to a 10-0 lead and held the Sun Devils (8-19, 4-11) and led 36-8 at the break. The eight points represent the fewest allowed by WSU in a first half since the shot clock was introduced 25 years ago.

Arizona State (8-19, 4-11) put together a 23-7 run and pulled within 43-31 with 13:07 left. But Dexter Kernich-Drew made a 3-pointer and was fouled and made the free throw, and the Cougars stayed in control.
