DALLAS (AP) -- DJ Horne scored 22 points with seven rebounds, four assists and three steals and Arizona State pulled away from SMU in the second half for a 75-57 victory on Wednesday night.

Horne, who missed his previous 13 3-point shots, opened the game with a triple but it was the Mustangs who were the sharpshooters. Zach Nutall quickly answered that 3 and SMU went 7 of 14 from distance to take a 33-28 halftime lead.

The Mustangs were just 5 of 17 inside the arc and the Sun Devils finished the half 4 of 16 on 3s. There were only eight turnovers and seven fouls before the break.

Then the script flipped with Arizona State making 6 of 8 behind the arc while SMU was 2 of 10 in the second half.

Devan Cambridge had the last two baskets for the Sun Devils (9-1), their eighth dunk and 10th 3-pointer for 13 points. Frankie Collins had 11 points.

Zhuric Phelps had 19 points for Mustangs (3-6) and Stefan Todorovic had 12 with Samuell Williamson grabbing 12 rebounds.

Arizona State, which trailed 33-22 late in the first half, scored the first nine points of the second half and took the lead when Horne made four free throws because of a foul and technical on Nutall at the 16:36 mark. Following an offensive rebound on the ensuing possession, Horne drilled a 3-pointer and it was 37-33.

Todorovic made a free throw at the 15:18 mark to end a drought of 8:19 that started after that 33-22 lead in the first half and at 14:57 Phelps had a steal and breakaway dunk to end a streak of 13-straight misses with four turnovers. That made the score 37-36.

The Mustangs got within one after their next basket but the Sun Devils pulled away. Back to back dunks by Warren Washington and a 3 by Desmond Cambridge Jr., had the lead at 64-48 with less than four minutes to go.
