ASU Basketball: Sun Devils score 29 points in loss to Washington State
Much of the conversation about Arizona State men’s basketball coming into the 2021-22 season centered around its roster makeover. Nine players and three new assistant coaches were representatives of a near total program reset. Growing pains were expected.
On Wednesday night against Washington State, the Sun Devils’ eighth game of the season, the team played as if it was just acquainted minutes before tip-off.
The final score was a nearly incomprehensible 51-29 in favor of the visiting Cougars, somehow more palatable than the halftime score of 18-10. It was the worst offensive performance for an Arizona State men’s basketball team since 1946.
