Young guard Jason Sanon is making a name for himself in the college basketball world, leading ASU to a 68-64 victory over Saint Mary’s with a team-high 19 points. Sanon’s impressive shooting and all-around abilities have NBA draft pundits rethinking their rankings, as he looks like a potential freshman of the year candidate in the competitive Big 12 conference.
Sanon’s performance, along with key contributions from teammate Jayden Quaintance, propelled ASU to a win over a tough Saint Mary’s team. Despite the Gaels’ strong play, Quaintance’s defensive efforts and Sanon’s scoring were too much to handle.
The victory broke ASU’s streak of scoring at least 80 points in six consecutive games, showcasing their ability to win games with solid defense and clutch performances. Looking ahead, the Sun Devils will face San Diego before neutral-court matchups with No. 18 Florida and UMass.
With the Big 12 play on the horizon, ASU will rely on Sanon and Quaintance to continue their impressive play as they hope to make a deep run in conference play. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this dynamic duo will perform in what promises to be an exciting season for ASU men’s basketball.
