It’s been a while since Arizona State has played this well. The Sun Devils have won five of their last six, moving them to second in the Pac-12 standings.
This recent surge couldn’t have come at a better time – the beginning of postseason play.
ASU’s winning ways earned them the No. 2 seed in the Pac-12 Tournament and a first-round bye. In their opening game – a quarterfinal matchup – the Sun Devils face UCLA.
The opposing squads only met once in the regular season; it was a comfortable win for ASU. A complete scoring effort from the Sun Devils’ young core carried them to a 84-73 victory, despite shooting 7-of-27 (26 percent) from 3-point range.
