The Sun Devils, coming off a dominant win at Colorado and a thrilling win at Utah, began Pac-12 play just as they had hoped: 2-0.
The Sun Devils are coming off a tight 83-81 win over Utah Sunday in which the Sun Devils scored the most points in a quarter in program history tallying 34 points in the first quarter.
