Four days ago, the Arizona State Sun Devils (4-1) suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of low-major Texas Southern on the road. It was the beginning of another disappointing season in the eyes of some.
The team still struggled to score and Twitter was full of fans wanting Bobby Hurley fired. Now, the Devils just hung a combined 150 points in two games to beat not one but two NCAA tournament-caliber teams in 24 hours to win the Legends Classic tournament in Brooklyn.
A statement win, and a strong foundation
It’s a storyline that not many would believe by word of mouth.
