2016 was an interesting year for Arizona State. Sun Devils had a lot of coaching changes in numerous sports while some over-achieved.
The sports that generate the biggest interest, football and basketball, had their ups and downs.
Todd Graham’s football team were coming off a season in which they couldn’t match lofty expectations and were looking to prove doubters this season.
That didn’t come to fruition as Sun Devils faltered losing six games in a row and missing out on a bowl game finishing 5-7.
The men’s basketball program were wrapping up their first season under head coach Bobby Hurley after a surprisingly successful non-conference season.
