From the get-go, Arizona State (1-1) had its way with Central Connecticut State (0-3) in the team’s home opener at the newly named Desert Financial Arena. The Sun Devils knocked off CCSU 90-49.
Offensively, the backcourt helped spur the 90-point outburst. ASU also had a size advantage, and they wreaked the full benefits of playing against a team who they were superior to on paper, and on the floor.
“We held them down and there probably hasn’t been a ton of games since I’ve been here where we’ve held a team under 50 points,” said ASU head coach Bobby Hurley.
