LOS ANGELES — For Arizona State's Remy Martin, Thursday's game against UCLA at Pauley Pavilion was a homecoming of sorts. For UCLA's Cody Riley, it was one of many chances to play in front of friends and family.
The two were high school teammates and Thursday's contest marked the first time the two have gone head-to-head on the college court, with Martin and the Sun Devils prevailing, 84-73, in front of a crowd of 7,555.
Both players graduated in 2017 from Sierra Canyon, a private school of about 1,000 students located in Chatsworth, about 35 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
