McKissic, who recorded a combined eight points in losses to Maryland and Alabama earlier in the week, scored 14 on 5-of-6 shooting in the first half and his fadeaway jumper at the buzzer capped a period-ending 19-6 run and gave Arizona State a 43-30 lead at the break.

Arizona State stretched its advantage to 70-61 on Blakes' three-point play with 6:44 left, but Colgate clawed back and Sherman-Newsome's three-point play with 2:19 left cut the lead to 73-70. Holder made it 75-70 on a driving layup with 54 seconds left and after Sherman-Newsome made 1-of-2 from the line 16 seconds later, Blakes made a pair of free throws with 36 seconds left to seal it.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Arizona State, which shot 54.3 percent from the field, was without G Kodi Justice (back spasms) and G-F Roosevelt Scott, who left the team to be with his ailing grandmother. ... Colgate's previous five games were decided by six points or fewer. ... The Sun Devils' home winning streak is their longest since a 13-game run spanning the 1979-80 and 1980-81 seasons.
