Sybil Dosty scored 14 points and Lauren Lacey added 12 as Arizona State beat Washington State 59-30 Thursday night at Tempe, Ariz., holding the Cougars to the lowest point total in Pac-10 women’s basketball history.

Washington 60, Arizona 58: At Tucson, Ariz., Sami Whitcomb and Katelan Redmon (Lewis and Clark HS) each scored 11 points and the Huskies (12-15, 7-8 Pac-10) nearly blew a big second-half lead before hanging on to beat the Wildcats (9-17, 3-12).

Ashley Whisonant, who scored 23 points for Arizona, missed a desperation shot inside the 3-point line with 2 seconds left.

Boise State 74, Idaho 40: At Boise, Ja’Lara Walker had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds and also contributed four blocked shots to lead the Broncos (19-6, 11-2) to a Western Athletic Conference victory over the Vandals (2-23, 1-12).
