Sun Devils Drop Pac-10 Opener

Joe Burton had a run of 17 points and nine rebounds to lead Oregon State to a 80-58 victory over Arizona on Thursday night in the Pac-10 open for both teams.

Jared Cunningham added 16 points, five rebounds and five assists for the Beavers (6-6), who began the season with a win for the first time since the 2004-05 season.

Ty Abbott had 18 points, all in the first half of Arizona State (7-5).

Burton two free throws with 8:08 remaining gave Oregon a 64-51 cushion and were part of a 12-3 run that put the game out of reach.

Arizona State guard Trent Lockett, the Sun Devils leading scorer 14.7 points per game, has not played because of a sprained finger on his left foot.
