ASU Basketball: Matchup with Cal a must-win for Sun Devils

Over the first 12 games of the season, the offense of Arizona State was in the zone. Now, the Sun Devils can’t seem to solve a zone.

ASU is averaging 77.5 points per game in six Pac-12 contests, down from the 91.8 being scored in non-conference games. Inconsistency and a lack of size has shaken the confidence of a team that handedly defeated Xavier and Kansas.

Following an underwhelming start to the conference season, a Saturday night game at the California Golden Bears has become a ‘must-win’ for the Sun Devils.

Under first-year head coach Wyking Jones, Cal has struggled with a 7-12 record that includes a 1-5 mark in Pac-12 games.
