Since the Sun Devils December 7th letdown defeat the hands of Nevada - a game in which Arizona State squandered a double-digit halftime lead - head coach Bobby Hurley’s squad has fallen back into their old puzzling ways.
Another epic start to the season has dried up and the boys from Tempe have posted a 4-5 overall mark over their past nine games, headlined by their stunning victory over then-top ranked Kansas and subsequent defeats at the hands of Princeton and Utah. So it’s no surprise at all that the Sun Devils head into Thursday’s meeting with Oregon State coming off a perplexing loss on the road at Stanford.
