The Sun Devils received just that as Remy Martin’s play combined with a stingy defense led ASU to its 14th win on the season and fifth in conference play as they defeated UCLA, 84-73.
Martin led the team back from the early deficit with a career-high 11 assists, including eight in the first half, to go along 15 points in the crucial conference victory.
The combination of Martin’s play and an early mixing of defenses set ASU up for success as coach Bobby Hurley fought to maintain the Sun Devils’ pace after the slow start.
