ASU Basketball: Sun Devils earn NCAA Tournament bid, will play Nevada in First Four

Arizona State (22-12) will play Nevada (22-10) in Dayton for the No. 11 seed in the West Region of the NCAA Tournament.

The Sun Devils were largely projected to be either one of the last few teams to receive a bid, or one of the first teams left out of the tournament. They received a ticket to play in the First Four, a series of four play-in games played between the bottom-eight teams selected to play in the tournament.

Nevada finished with a fourth-place regular season record in the Mountain West, and the Wolfpack lost its only conference tournament game in the Mountain West quarterfinal to San Jose State 81-77.
