House to be honored

Arizona State hosts Colorado on Saturday and will honor former Sun Devil great Eddie House by hanging his No. 5 jersey in the rafters at Wells Fargo Arena. The former Hayward High great played for 10 teams in the NBA, winning an NBA championship with Boston in the 2007-2008 season.

From his Wikipedia page:
House set a single-game Arizona State record with a 61-point effort in a 111–108 double-overtime victory against the California Golden Bears on the road in his senior season. It also was a memorable homecoming of sorts for him, as he had starred in high school for nearby Hayward High School. House also set a record in the game with 18 made free throws in 19 attempts. House is the first Pac-10 player to notch four, 40-point games in one season as he had 61 vs. Cal, 46 vs. San Diego State, 42 vs. Penn State and 40 vs. UCLA. He also posted eight 30-point games that same season and set ASU records in points (736) and points per game (23.0). Also led the team in assists (111) and steals (74), as the 74 steals is tied for second on ASU single-season list. He is one of only three players to average in double figures in four consecutive seasons at Arizona State since it joined the Pac-10.
