COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP : Arizona State Crushed by Okla. State
Arizona State suffered from having too much to cover with not enough to get the job done.
Bryant Reeves dominated inside and scored a career-high 34 points to lead No. 8 Oklahoma State (4-0) to an 87-69 victory over the injury-riddled Sun Devils on Thursday at Tulsa, Okla.
Reeves, a 7-foot junior, scored 24 points in the second half, including all 12 of the Cowboys’ points during one five-minute run. The Sun Devils (1-1) rotated players against him but to no avail.
Reeves also had 16 rebounds, one shy of his career high.
The Sun Devils have been plagued with injuries. Last season’s team MVP, Mario Bennett, is sidelined until next month, Quincy Brewer is sidelined because of a broken right kneecap and Marcell Capers broke a bone in his left foot Saturday.
No. 2 Arkansas 120, Missouri 68--Scotty Thurman scored 10 points and Clint McDaniel made consecutive three-pointers during a 27-6 first-half run at Fayetteville.
The Tigers (1-1) trailed by 23 at the half as the Razorbacks improved to 2-1.
No. 17 Georgia Tech 77, Western Carolina 55--Fred Vinson, starting in place of injured James Forrest, scored 15 points at Atlanta to lead the Yellow Jackets (2-1).
Anquell McCollum led the Catamounts (1-1) with 12 points.
Memphis State 83, Tennessee 64--Cedric Henderson scored 23 points to help the Tigers overcome an early deficit at Memphis.
The Tigers (2-0) led by as many as 24 with 6:30 left, and the Vols (1-2) never got closer than 15 down the stretch.
Boston College 87, Notre Dame 79--Howard Eisley scored 21 points to lead five Eagle players in double figures at Newton, Mass.
Bill Curley scored 18 points, Paul Grant 14, Danya Abrams 12 and Malcolm Huckaby 11 for the Eagles (3-0).
