The recipe for Arizona State to be successful this season appears relatively simple. Redshirt senior Zylan Cheatham will need to do a lot of the dirty work and fill up the stat sheet while propelling the team on offense and defense.
Throw in some of freshman Luguentz Dort’s athleticism and playmaking on both ends of the floor. The formula looks strong in the season’s early stages.
Arizona State Sun Devils (2-0) defeated the McNesse State Cowboys (0-2) 80-52 Friday night at Wells Fargo Arena in Tempe.
Cheatham secured his first double-double of the season, pouring in 16 points and securing 12 rebounds while also distributing six assists.
