ASU Basketball: First half proves costly in semifinals

After a come from behind win against Oregon State Friday, Arizona State could not find their stride early against Stanford, leading to the 58-46 loss in the Pac-12 Tournament Semifinals.

The first half was not pretty for the Sun Devils.

In the first quarter, Arizona State couldn’t hit a shot with the team shooting 1-of-10 from the field, but that wasn’t their only problem. The Cardinal also racked up twice as many boards as the Sun Devils in the first, out-rebounding ASU 10-5 in the quarter.

Starting the second quarter down 10, ASU was already in a hole.
