No. 17 Mississippi State and Arizona State enter Monday's game in the MGM Resorts Main Event in Las Vegas both at 3-0 and with their last win a rout of visiting Long Beach State.
The Sun Devils were to play at San Francisco on Friday but the game was cancelled because of poor air quality as a result of the wildfire in Northern California.
The Bulldogs last played Long Beach State on Friday night, winning 79-51, but the game had a tragedy of its own as sophomore guard Nick Weatherspoon severely twisted his left ankle only 29 seconds into the game.
