In the win over San Diego, Devan Cambridge and Frankie Collins each recorded double-doubles, the first time ASU had a pair of those in the same game since last December.

Arizona State’s 91 points against San Diego was its highest output of the season, but it is still the defense doing the job for the Sun Devils.

They are allowing opponents to shoot just 35.1% from the floor, the fifth-best mark in the country.

Washington has a blocked shot rate of 10.4% on the season to rank sixth in the nation in that category. The Huskies are also forcing a turnover on 19.5% of possessions on the season.

The Broncos’ 11 wins on the season are tied for the second most in the nation.
