Odum made 10 of 17 from the field, 6 of 11 from 3-point range and 7 of 8 from the free-throw line. Anthony Johnson added 11 points and Santiago Trouet 10 for Arizona State (11-9, 2-5 Big 12). Massamba Diop had 10 rebounds to go with six points and four blocks.

Thomas, who was scoreless on 0-for-6 shooting, had six assists.
Cincinnati scored eight of the first 11 second-half points to take a one-point lead with 16:49 left in the game, but Trouet answered with a 3-pointer, then added a dunk and two free throws in a 19-7 run that gave the Sun Devils the lead for good.
