SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Arizona State stayed in the NCAA Tournament picture by putting together one of its best offensive performances of the season.

The Sun Devils heated up early and never cooled down on their way to beating Utah 98-87 on Saturday night. Arizona State dominated around the basket and lit it up from the perimeter to keep the Utes on their heels for 40 minutes.

"We didn't settle," guard Rob Edwards said. "We didn't let the gas up. We kept going to them the whole game."
