KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Sun Devil women's basketball team's 2024-25 season concluded on Thursday. In each of its setbacks the last four months it refused to stop fighting until the end. It was no different in Thursday's 96-88 loss to Iowa State in the second round of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Women's Basketball Championship at T-Mobile Center.
Just like in its first round triumph over Cincinnati 24 hour earlier, all eight players on ASU's active roster – the same roster that started with 16 players before being decimated by injury – did everything it could to extend its season.
