Arizona State started fast, but No. 4 Arizona caught up to and then sprinted past the Sun Devils for a sobering 91-79 loss on Monday night.
A potent combination of speed and size allowed the Wildcats (20-2, 10-1 Pac-12) to overcome an electric start to the game by the Sun Devils (7-14, 3-8 Pac-12), who knocked down four 3-pointers in the opening 3:08 and jumped to a 14-1 lead.
