Arizona State (12-12) was led by Maurice Odum’s 23 points and Massamba Diop’s 19 points but could not overcome Colorado’s efficient shooting. The Buffaloes shot 50.8% from the field compared to the Sun Devils’ 40.4%. Colorado also held advantages in assists and blocks. The win completed a regular-season sweep for Colorado, which also defeated Arizona State on Jan. 3.
