Now that Pac-12 season is in full swing for the Sun Devils, weekends at home are paramount in racking up some wins to compete with a very deep conference this season. On Sunday, Arizona State (9-6, 1-1 Pac-12) had the opportunity to get a home sweep to start conference play, but a slow start paved the way to a 72-63 loss to Utah.
21-4 was what the Desert Financial Arena scoreboard read after 10 minutes of action, and the Sun Devils were down by as many as 29 just before the halftime break. It was a 41-26 second half that helped ASU climb closer to the Utes, but they were unable to secure the sweep.
