TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Arizona State women's basketball team is led by upperclassmen who have put together a 19-9 record heading into the Pac-12 Tournament on Thursday. The 5th-seeded Sun Devils will need those star players to produce at their usual high level when they take on 12th-seed Colorado (12-17) squad that they have handled in both contests this season.
What else does this Sun Devil squad need in order for this edition to make a run at the Pac-12 title?
It starts with stellar play on the defensive side of the ball and consistency from their four contributing freshman: guards Taya Hanson and Jamie Loera alongside the frontcourt pairing of Iris Mbulito and Jayde Van Hyfte.
