Regardless of record, the Arizona State men’s basketball team (10-11, 3-5) has found solace in Wells Fargo Arena. Seven of the team’s 10 wins this season have come on its home floor and the Sun Devils will have the opportunity to earn win No. 8 against the Washington State Cougars (10-10, 3-5).
The Cougars have cooled off after starting Pac-12 play 2-0 and have since lost five of their past six games. WSU lost 79-62 at Arizona in its last game.
Defensively, the Sun Devils made a big stand on Wednesday in holding Washington to 76 points, well below ASU’s allowed average of 83.
