Wells Fargo Arena, the 14,198-seat home of the Arizona State Sun Devils, is located in Tempe, Ariz., a 30-minute drive from Mitch Lightfoot’s family residence in nearby Gilbert.
“I couldn’t even tell you. Hopefully upwards of 25 to 30 (people). There will be a lot there. There will be a lot of friends and family there,” Lightfoot, Kansas’ 6-foot-8, 225-pound junior forward said of his own personal cheering section expected at Saturday’s KU-Arizona State game.
Tipoff for the nonconference clash between the No. 1-ranked Jayhawks (10-0) and No. 18 Sun Devils (8-2) will be 8 p.m. Central time in Tempe, with a live telecast on ESPN2.
