Zylan Cheatham jokingly blamed freshman guard Luguentz Dort for messing up an alley-oop attempt in the Sun Devils win over Nebraska-Omaha on Wednesday. Had Dort completed the oop, Cheatham would’ve earned a triple-double.
On Saturday, Dort made up for it, his three pointer put ASU up 80-65 at the 2:46 mark in the second half. That gave Cheatham his 10th assist of the night and only the second triple-double in ASU history. Cheatham finished with 14 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in Arizona State’s (7-0) 83-71 win over Texas Southern (3-5).
