According to azcentral’s Doug Haller, Arizona State’s non-conference schedule is locked in and it’s a doozy.
The Sun Devils, who earned one of the final four bids into the NCAA Tournament last season, have once again built a stacked non-conference schedule.
To begin the season, they’ll host the Big West Tournament champions Cal State Fullerton with their first big test coming in mid-November in Las Vegas when they’ll face a likely top-15 team in Mississippi State.
It’ll be their December stretch that could define Arizona State’s season. In every season under head coach Bobby Hurley, Arizona State has had a strong non-conference season and a poor conference season.
