Six players scored in double figures, with freshman guard Joson Sanon standing out with 22 points. Jayden Quaintance recorded a double-double, Adam Miller shined from beyond the arc, Alston Mason controlled the game, and BJ Freeman and Basheer Jihad contributed significantly.
With this win, Arizona State has started the season at 5-1, marking the fourth time under Bobby Hurley’s coaching era. Hurley achieved his 160th victory at ASU, becoming the second-winningest coach in program history. The team’s performance also highlighted its strong defense, rebounding, and free-throw shooting.
Freshman Jayden Quaintance’s notable shot-blocking prowess has already broken records, surpassing All-American James Harden. The team’s balanced offensive and defensive efforts have been impressive, resulting in a season-high 93 points and dominant performances in rebounding margins.
Looking ahead, the Sun Devils will face New Mexico State in the Acrisure Classic in Palm Springs, California. Coach Hurley emphasized the team’s need to improve defensively and praised veteran player Adam Miller for his crucial plays in critical moments. Miller underscored the importance of team chemistry and shared responsibility in achieving success, especially with a mix of young and experienced talent on the roster. With a strong start to the season, Arizona State is poised for continued success under Hurley’s leadership.
