Arizona State gave the top-five Wildcats all they could handle for 20 minutes on Saturday before eventually falling.
When Arizona State Sun Devils point guard Kodi Justice buried a 3-pointer to close an up and down first half at Rupp Arena, it was impossible not to think about a possible upset that might be brewing.
The Justice triple pulled ASU to within 32-31 at the half, shaking off a cold shooting start to give the No. 5 Kentucky Wildcats a bit of a scare as both teams regrouped in the locker rooms.
