In the first game after the worst offensive performance for Arizona State in several decades, most of the roster was due for a redemptive performance. On Sunday in the Pacific Northwest against the Oregon Ducks (5-4, 0-1 Pac-12), multiple Sun Devils (3-6, 1-1 Pac-12) delivered in the closing stages of a 69-67 win.
As the season is growing past its opening games, the roles of this team are beginning to become more clear. DJ Horne is one of the best pure shooters Sun Devil coach Bobby Hurley has had in Tempe, and without his game-high 23 points and six rebounds on Sunday, this game would be in the books as a loss.
