The Arizona State Sun Devils have had to rely on their defense this season, with offense yet to find its rhythm.
This time out it was the Sun Devils faltering on both ends of the floor and they were dealt a 96-56 loss by St. Mary's Wednesday night at Talking Stick Resort Arena in the second half of a Basketball Hall of Fame Showcase double-header.
It was just the third loss in 11 outings and in both the previous losses ASU was competitive against nationally-ranked foes. But this one was a lopsided affair from the opening tip off.
