The Sun Devils scored the first four points of the second half to go up by 10 and a 3-pointer by Jonathan Gilling - his first points of the game - stretched the lead to 51-37 with 16:18 remaining and Arizona State was able to maintain a comfortable margin. Gilling finished with seven points, 12 rebounds and eight assists.
