SEATTLE (AP) - Will Perkins and C.J. Massingale scored 13 points apiece to lead Washington to a 70-68 overtime victory over the Arizona State Sun Devils Thursday night.
The Huskies snapped a four-game losing streak, scoring nine of their 12 points during overtime at the free throw line.
Arizona State (8-6, 0-3 Pac-10) missed two shots in the final five seconds of the game. Kyle Dodd's 3-point attempt was short and Donnell Knight's putback did not hit the rim as the clock expired for the Sun Devils.
Massingale's free throw with 11.9 seconds left in the game pushed the Husky lead to two points, which proved to be enough for the Huskies' first conference victory of the season.
Washington (7-8, 1-2) was outrebounded 55-31, but made 11 of 24 from 3-point range. Grant Leep scored all nine of his points on 3-of-3 shooting from behind the 3-point line.
Awvee Storey pulled down a career-high 15 rebounds and gave the Sun Devils a 66-64 lead with 2:09 to play in the extra period. It was their last lead of the game. Knight led Arizona State with 15 points and had 13 rebounds. Alton Mason, who averaged 27.5 points over the previous two games, scored 12.
Knight tied the game at 58 when he put back his own miss in the paint with 7.7 seconds remaining in regulation to force overtime.
Arizona State was without starting center Chad Prewitt, sidelined with a sprained right ankle.
The Huskies jumped out to a 13-6 lead when Perkins scored on a fast break layup six minutes into the game. Arizona State responded with a 16-4 run over the next 6:30.
Arizona State held a 32-27 advantage at halftime.
