ASU basketball and fans ride typical mercurial style to First Four win over St. John's

On Wednesday night, Arizona State won a game in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament for the first time in 10 years.

So why was I tempted to check on the welfare of friends who are Sun Devil fans?

Nothing the Sun Devils have accomplished this season has been easy or pretty. Week after week, they have taken their fans on roller-coaster rides that included the roller coaster breaking down mid-ride.

That’s how the Sun Devils played again in the 74-65 victory over St. John’s in a play-in game in Dayton, Ohio.
