QUOTE TO NOTE: “We’ve got two losses now on the road (against San Diego State and Washington). One-score games. We’ve got to find a way to play better on the road obviously. I thought going into this game we wanted to get it into the fourth quarter and we got it into the fourth quarter, but then we kind of self-destructed. We got some fouls that caused us harm, we turned the ball over, all those things kind of added up to us.” — ASU coach Herm Edwards after the loss at No. 10 Washington last week.
