There was a sequence for Arizona State (2-3) during the first half of Wednesday night’s 75-63 loss against No. 6 Baylor (5-0) in the Bahamas that nearly perfectly summarizes where the team is at through five games.
Up 18-12 and fueled by the outside shooting from the prolific DJ Horne, the Sun Devils appeared primed for another Bobby Hurley non-conference upset special. Forget Kansas. This time, their victim would be the defending national champion Bears in another victory that sends a push notification to college hoops fans around the nation. And this was without their best player, Marcus Bagley, who is rehabbing a knee injury and did not travel with the team.
