On Wednesday Arizona State defeated Stanford Men’s basketball 98-88 to open the 2017 Pac-12 Conference Championship tournament. The Stanford basketball record drops to 14-17 on the season and 6-13 in Conference play.
The Arizona State Sun Devils started the opening game of the 2017 Pac-12 tournament red-hot and seemingly unable to miss a single shot. The Stanford Cardinal was able to keep pace in the early going through the first five or six minutes of the game but with 14:10 left in the first half ASU took a 15-14 lead and never really looked back.
