It wasn't easy, but conference road wins usually aren't.
Down eight early @SunDevilHoops held off a Washington State team late to win 88-78 in Pullman on Sunday afternoon.
ASU had three players notch 20 points, as Shannon Evans II (23), Romello White (21) and Tra Holder (20) all made big plays late as ASU notched its fourth road win of the year.
ASU shot .704 from the field in the second half (19-of-27), made 12-of-13 free throws and notched 10 steals, five by Shannon Evans. It shot .557 from the field for the game (34-of-61), its best mark in a road game since it shot 37-of-58 (.638) at Washington on Feb. 2, 2013.
Remy Martin had a great final six minutes to seal the win. He had all 10 of his points in the final 6:20 as he had two steals which led to break out layups and made all four of his free throw attempts late. ASU scored 48 points in the second half and outscored the Cougars 20-7 in the final seven minutes.
After WSU took the lead 67-63 with just under eight minutes remaining, ASU outscored WSU 25-11 down the stretch. It shot 9-of-12 from the field and had four steals and made all five free throws.
