Sometimes, it’s just not your night.
The Arizona State Sun Devils were simply outmatched and overpowered by the No. 5 UCLA Bruins during a 87-75 loss to in front of a crowd of over 2,500 inside Wells Fargo Arena on Thursday night.
ASU guard Torian Graham poured in a game-high 28 points (7-for-14 from 3-point range), and the Sun Devils’ starters logged a combined 199 minutes of time on the floor out of 200 possible. The effort wasn’t enough against an ultra-talented Bruins’ squad, however the Sun Devils (13-16, 6-10 Pac-12) didn’t simply concede the bout, and ASU coach Bobby Hurley commended his team’s commitment.
