“We’ve got four seniors, we’ve got talent, we’ve got depth, we’ve got experience so we have no excuses.”
Those are the words of Arizona State women’s basketball head coach Charli Turner Thorne as the Sun Devils embark on the 2018-19 season Tuesday against Incarnate Word.
The Sun Devils, ranked 23rd in the AP preseason poll, finished last season 22-13 placing sixth in the Pac-12, reaching the Pac-12 Tournament semifinals and the second round of the NCAA Tournament where they fell to No. 2 Texas 85-65.
Arizona State is expected to roll out the same starting lineup as last season led by forward Kianna Ibis and guard Reili Richardson.
