Fortune Scores 17, Leads Colorado Over Arizona St. 79-69

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Josh Fortune scored 17 points, Josh Scott had 15, and Colorado pulled away late to beat Arizona State 79-69 on Sunday.

Tre'Shaun Fletcher added 13 points, connecting on all three of his 3-point tries, and George King finished with nine points, including a pair of 3-pointers down the stretch for Colorado (21-9, 10-7 Pac-12).

Tra Holder had 16 points for Arizona State (14-15, 4-12) which could not avoid its fourth straight loss. Gerry Blakes added 15 points and Eric Jacobsen 14 for the Sun Devils.

A pair of free throws by Holder pulled the Sun Devils to 62-59, but King responded with a 3-pointer to restore a six-point lead for the Buffaloes.

King hit another 3-pointer with 4:28 remaining after the Sun Devils had narrowed the deficit to five.

Scott made a reverse layup and the Buffaloes made four free throws in the final 2:40 to seal it.
