During the first 20 minutes of basketball at Wells Fargo Arena, it was painful to watch. Neither Arizona State or California was in any sort of rhythm, as they played like it was another lazy Sunday afternoon.
Luckily for the Sun Devil faithful who were scared of another resumé destroying loss, it wasn’t meant to be as senior day ended in storybook fashion.
Behind a strong second half offensive performance, the Arizona State Sun Devils (19-8, 10-5) defeated the lowly California Golden Bears (5-22, 0-15) 69-59 in the Sun Devils’ final home game of the season.
Senior forwards Zylan Cheatham and De’Quon Lake both got the start in their final game at Wells Fargo Arena, and had a strong impact.
