Five Oregon State players were benched for violating team rules and Arizona State went on to roll past the Beavers 80-66 on Saturday in the final Pac-10 regular season game for both teams.
Seniors Ty Abbott and Rihards Kuksiks scored 22 and 18 points, respectively, as the Sun Devils (12-18, 4-14), the last-place team in the Pac-10, finished with three consecutive home victories.
Oregon State coach Craig Robinson would not say what the five players did, but the Oregonian reported that they missed the curfew at the on-campus hotel in Tucson following the team's loss to Arizona on Thursday night.
Only six players played for the Beavers (10-19, 5-13), led by Roberto Nelson, whose 34 points were more than double his previous career best.
