Freshman Jaelen House added nine points off the bench.

After Arizona State pulled within 65-60 with four minutes remaining, Pritchard responded with a three-point play and the Ducks hit five of their final six free throws after being 10-of-18 prior.

The Ducks started the game with five 3-pointers in seven attempts in the opening six minutes on the way to a 19-12 advantage. The Sun Devils rallied to tie it at 24. Oregon kept up its torrid shooting and took advantage of ASU missing seven of its last eight shot attempts in the first half for a 40-31 halftime lead.

Pritchard's sixth 3-pointer pushed Oregon's lead to 45-31, but the Sun Devils battled back and Martin scored seven consecutive points to cut it to 53-48.

The Ducks pushed the lead back into double digits, but again it was Martin responding with another seven-point spurt to draw the Sun Devils to 65-60 before Pritchard's three-point play put Oregon back up by eight.
