Tra Holder spent all offseason working on his jump shot. Monday night, it showed.
The sophomore point guard hit three 3-pointers in a four-minute span to finally help the Sun Devils get separation from Cal State Bakersfield in a 75-59 win at Wells Faro Arena.
The Sun Devils – who wrapped up the non-conference season at 10-3 -- played their first game since returning from holiday break. For most of the contest, they looked like it.
In previous games, ASU didn’t have to shoot well to win. The Sun Devils compensated with strong rebounding and hustle, and many times that was enough.
