Arizona State heads back to the NCAA Tournament for a school record sixth consecutive season.
The Sun Devils earned a five-seed and will face the University of Central Florida in Coral Gables, Florida on Friday. Rather unceremoniously, head coach Charli Turner Thorne learned of this while her team was beginning practice, thanks to the bracket’s premature leak.
“Thirty years doing this and this has never happened before,” Turner Thorne said. “It’s all good, I hate sitting in that room and the anticipation. I am totally cool with someone showing me on a phone.”
ASU enters the tournament with a 20-10 record.
