No. 20 Arizona St. rips Oregon St. 69-38 (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

James Harden scored 22 points, and No. 20 Arizona State used a smothering zone defense to rout Oregon State 69-38 on Thursday night. The Beavers' 38 points are the fewest the Sun Devils have allowed against a Pac-10 opponent in 31 years as a conference member. Arizona State (13-2, 2-1) rebounded quickly from a loss last weekend at California.
