The Sun Devils needed a change of plans.
After three consecutive losses that potentially dropped them five seed lines in the NCAA Tournament, something needed to change.
Yes, the Sun Devils weren’t shooting well.
Yes, inconsistency had been a huge factor.
And yes– it looked like the team’s best days had been long extinct.

Tonight, the Sun Devils may have found one of their missing links, as freshman forward Romello White put forth one of his most consistent efforts in conference play with a 13-point, 11-rebound performance on 5-of-6 shooting in his team’s win over Cal.
