Arizona State men’s basketball (4-6, 1-3 Pac-12) put up an inspiring effort on the road against Oregon State (6-5, 2-3), but a defensive breakdown in the waning seconds cost the Devils the win, as the team fell to the Beavers 80-79.
It appeared the story of Saturday afternoon’s game was going to be the coming of age moment for the Sun Devil’s two promising freshmen Marcus Bagley and Joshua Christopher. Down the stretch, the pair began to work in tandem to bombard the Beavers with three-pointer after three-pointer.
This play between the pair highlighted the potential 1-2 punch the Sun Devils are hoping can supercharge an offense that has oftentimes been flatlined through the first 10 games this season.
