Poor starts to both halves burned Arizona State in a 99-61 loss on Wednesday night.
With just under eight minutes to play in the first half of Wednesday night's game against the Arizona Wildcats, shooting guard Gerry Blakes buried a 3-pointer to silence a rowdy McKale Center crowd, giving the Arizona State Sun Devils a 20-19 lead in the process.
After a sluggish start that saw the visitors from Tempe miss seven of their first eight shots, the lead came as a bit of a surprise to everyone playing in and watching the second Territorial Cup matchup of the season.
