Other than the name of its arena, not much changed with Arizona State men’s basketball over the last 38 years.

When it came to successful seasons, ASU was almost always one-and-done. Coaches came and left, but never for a better job.

There was a great player here, a good one there, but there were never enough of them at the same time.

The University Activity Center became Wells Fargo Arena, and the one thing they had in common was a new coat of paint once in a while and plenty of empty seats.
