ASU Can’t Beat No. 4 Arizona Despite Hot Start
The ASU men's hoops team could not pull off the second straight upset and fell to the No. 4 Arizona Wildcats 91-79 Monday night.
The Sun Devils came off the gate scorching hot, securing a 14-1 lead after notching four three-pointers. That forced Arizona to call an early timeout with only 3:10 minutes played, as ASU made 13 three-pointers.
However, an 11-0 run by the Wildcats cut the lead short and made Bobby Hurley call another timeout as the scoreboard showed the score 16-14 for ASU. From that point on, both teams traded buckets, as there were five lead changes in the last eight minutes of the first half.
