Arizona State started the second half of Pac-12 play with a strong defensive 60-47 victory over rival Arizona.
After the Sun Devils’ worst offensive performance of the season came in Tucson, they wanted to prove that they still had the upper hand over the Wildcats.
“They got one on us,” said senior Courtney Ekmark after scoring a team-high 20 points. “So that motivated us more to come out and restore the order tonight.”
ASU has an interesting schedule down the stretch, which includes very winnable games against the Washington schools and Colorado, squads with three of the four worst records in the Pac-12.
