http://dailywildcat.com TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Wildcats were able to come back from a 17-point deficit and eventually go up by 2 points, but the Arizona State Sun Devils used home-court advantage to fight back and beat their in-state counterparts for the fourth-straight time, sweeping the second straight season series between the two teams.
ASU guard James Harden led all scorers with 18 points, and forward Rihards Kuksiks had 17 points, thanks to 5-for-10 shooting from beyond the 3-point arc.
Arizona had four players score in double digits: Nic Wise (17 points), Jordan Hill (14), Kyle Fogg (14) and Chase Budinger (13).

Check out the most exciting point guard from the 2011 class 5'10 Jahii Carson from Mesa High School in Phoenix, AZ. Here's Jahii doing work this past summer at various events and tournaments playing for the Compton Magic AAU squad. At 5'10 Jahii can score from anywhere on the floor, whether it's hitting the long range or taking it to the whole, he's got one of the most handles in the nation and of course we can't forget about his major hops which makes him a crowd favorite.
