A farewell to Eric Jacobsen, the Valley product who became Arizona State's ironman

The longtime Sun Devil said goodbye to Wells Fargo Arena with an exclamation point, closing his time in Tempe with a career-high 20-point performance against California. A perfect way to sum up his impact with Arizona State over the years.

Eric Jacobsen desired to win more than anything on Senior Night. Arizona State tallied 58 wins in Tempe in the last 4 seasons but leaving his home court crowned with success meant more to him. He was not rewarded.

The Valley product out of Hamilton High School in Chandler, AZ deserved better after a four-year career in his backyard.
