With just about a month to practice before the season started, most people expected some sloppy play in the return of college basketball.
The Sun Devils (2-0) played that way for most of Friday’s game against Virginia Commonwealth (1-1), but stellar play in the fourth quarter propelled Arizona State to a 49-40 victory.
Another rough offensive night
Arizona State head coach Charli Turner Thorne mentioned in her pregame “Tip from the Tunnel” that ASU needed to limit turnovers and take care of the basketball. That was not the case in the first half.
The ball was flying all over the place and it felt like a whistle was blown every time down the floor.
