Arizona topples No. 3 Arizona State

TUCSON, Ariz. — Deandre Ayton had 23 points and 19 rebounds, including a crucial tip-in with 11 seconds to go, and No. 17 Arizona held on to hand No. 3 Arizona State its first loss of the season, 84-78 on Saturday.

Findlay Prep product Allonzo Trier, who missed his first six shots but finished with 23 points, made two free throws to put the Wildcats (113) ahead 82-78 with 10.3 seconds to go in the teams’ Pac-12 opener.

Tra Holder made 15 of 16 free throws in a 31-point effort for the Sun Devils (12-1). But ASU’s other two usually sharpshooting guards, Shannon Evans and Cody Justice, combined to shoot 5-for-23 — including 2-for-14 on 3-pointers.

The Wildcats beat the Sun Devils in Tucson for the eighth straight time. Arizona State’s loss left no unbeaten teams remaining in NCAA Division I.
