TEMPE — Arizona State point guard Moe Odum dished out a different kind of assist to Santiago Trouet after the forward’s double-double in a win over Utah Tech.

Trouet tallied 13 points and 10 rebounds in the win, including four offensive boards, earning free lunch from the restaurant of his choosing courtesy of Odum.

“I just go and get it. Coach told me (if) you want to play, go and get the ball,” Trouet said postgame. “Getting rebounds, I can control getting rebounds. Putting the ball in, you can’t control it.”

“Part of it is also I told him before the game if you get a certain amount of rebounds, I’ll buy him lunch,” Odum said. “So lunch is on me today.”

The 6-foot-10 Trouet needed to clear at least eight boards, so the double-double was just gravy. It was the sixth of his career and first by a Sun Devil this season.

He had at least 10 rebounds in seven games over the past two years at San Diego with a career high of 20.

Odum was clear, though — he’s an equal opportunity lunch provider for his big men. Massamba Diop (six rebounds) and Andrija Grbovic (five) could’ve earned their own free lunches, but they came up short of Odum’s bars of 10 and seven, respectively.

“I’m on them about their rebounds, I reward them for their rebounds,” Odum said. “I reward my big men.”
