Ultimately, Glass' performance wasn't quite enough to best the Arizona State tandem of Maurice Odum and Bryce Ford, who scored 26 and 18 points, respectively. Five of Odum's six field goals came from three-point range, adding five assists. Odum was also a perfect 9-for-9 on free throws.

WSU did lead for nearly 25 minutes of the game, but lost the lead for the final time with 6:27 remaining in the game. As a team, Washington State connected on 53% of their field goal attempts with 14 three-pointers out of 16 attempts.
With the loss, WSU fall to 3-4 overall on the season.
