A strong offensive first half guides No. 19 ASU to the ASU Classic championship.

On March 18, 1982, the defending national champion and No. 1 Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters crushed No. 17 Arizona State in the regional semi-finals of the NCAA tournament 92-54. Over 20 years later, the two teams met again in the ASU Classic for only their second ever matchup, and it was much in the Devils’ favor.

No. 19 Arizona State (4-2) cruised over Louisiana Tech (4-3) 80-44 in game one of the ASU Classic Saturday afternoon.

In what may have been its best offensive performance of the season, ASU came out of the gates firing from all over the floor.
