Despite a slow start, ASU was able to continue their winning ways by earning a 106-58 victory over the Hornets. This was the first time since December 2005 that the Sun Devils scored over 100 points in a game.
ASU did not start the game the way that they wanted to. They trailed the visiting Hornets 14-10 with 4:32 left in the opening quarter. Arizona State struggled to defend the perimeter early and Sacramento State took advantage. But the Sun Devils finished off the first quarter strong by going on a 10-0 run and regaining the lead.
The second quarter was much better for ASU.
