Being near the people you are closest to is what the holidays are all about. Whether you love them or hate them, they are the people placed in your life that you just simply cannot ignore no matter how hard you try.
For Arizona and ASU, they spent the holidays with the closest enemy they both have right before the new year. Allowing for one more neighborly scrap before cleaning the slate and jumping into 2019.
The scrap was exactly that, a backyard brawl that tested both teams toughness and tenacity more so their abilities to pass and shoot.
