LAHAINA, Hawaii – The Washington State men's basketball (3-4) lost to the Arizona State Sun Devils, 94-100, despite a record-setting performance from true freshman Ace Glass, who broke the WSU freshman record with 40 points.
 
Player Performances – True freshman Ace Glass scoring a career-high 40 points, becoming the only freshman and only underclassman in the country with a 40-point game this season. Glass shot an efficient 9-of-14 from the floor, including 6-of-9 from beyond the arc, and 16-of-18 at the free throw line. Junior Eemeli Yalaho added his fourth-consecutive game in double figures with 12 points.

Glass delivered the 10th 40-point game in WSU men's basketball history and the most points by a Coug since Noah Williams scored 40 against Stanford in 2021.
