TEMPE, Ariz. – Can the most talented last-place team in the country find enough life and direction in the desert to threaten the rest of the Pac-12 in the conference tournament next week?
They Husky men looked the part in a 90-83 victory at Arizona State that was as rare for the high scoring and newfound ability to close out a game as it was for its location – the team’s first conference road win of the season.
Naz Carter scored 14 of his career-high-tying 23 points in a 49-point second half. Little-used energy guy Elijah Hardy played a key role for a career-high 32 minutes – after playing 12 combined in his last three games.
