It’s always better to learn from a win than a loss.” Notes We competed and fought and toughed out a win. Sometimes that’s enough, and it was tonight. “You know, I don’t know if either team played up to what the coaches think their potential is, but both teams played hard and they competed at a high level. “It was a hard-fought game,” Dutcher said. A deep 3 by Jackson made it 57-55, Sun Devils. A Butler 3 and a Bradley layup on the break made it 55-54, Aztecs. A 7-0 run got the lead back for the Sun Devils. We can’t let the refs basically determine the game.”īarely two minutes later, the Aztecs led 42-39 behind a 12-0 run.īack and forth it went. The call on me, the technical, those are things we can’t control. … We just had to overcome that adversity. I guess the ball went up in the air, he lost it, the refs made a bad call. That’s kind of what it was.”īutler: “It gave us more fire. Pulliam: “If someone gets a tech, that’s just going to make us go harder and make us come together. He made three for a 39-30 lead with 16:52 lead.īut that merely woke up the Viejas crowd, and the team it was cheering for.

That gave Jackson four free throws, two for the foul and two for the tech. Bradley saw the same thing and pointed to the video board above.Īpparently, that’s grounds for a technical foul now.
Johnson was whistled for a suspect foul on Jackson that looked an awful lot on replays like the ball slipped out of his hands without contact. I want them to believe in them and, if they’re open, I want them to take them. For a team that’s really low in percentage, we weren’t afraid to take them. We opened the game like we’re a 3-point shooting team. So did Adam Seiko, who entered the game 1 of 7. Butler, who worked tirelessly on his perimeter stroke all summer, made two. Mensah made the first 3 of his four-year career. The 3-point shooting was 28.6 percent (6 of 21), which, as bad as it looks, is nearly double what they entered the game beyond the arc. Pulliam had only four points but six rebounds and four assists. Bradley had 12 points and eight rebounds. That usually doesn’t get it done in a high-level game against a Pac-12 opponent.īut they held the Sun Devils (2-2) to 37.3 percent shooting, had a 37-31 advantage on the boards, got to the line 28 times (making 19) and committed only three turnovers in a disjointed second half that featured seven lead changes and five ties.įour players scored in double figures, led by a career-high 14 by sophomore guard Lamont Butler, who got the start over senior Adam Seiko. The Aztecs played a game like this last week at BYU – can’t shoot, struggle on the boards, down to the wire – and lost in large part because of a corner 3.Īfter seemingly solving their woes at the free throw line, the Aztecs clanked 4 of 8 in the final 3:06 and gave up four offensive rebounds. Make … miss.Īll of a sudden, it’s a scramble and there’s a guy open in the corner. They shot another 3, only for the scramble for the rebound to result in a jump ball with the arrow pointing to the Aztecs.īradley, inserted into the game despite a rough offensive night for the purpose of shooting free throws, was fouled with 8.7 seconds left. The Sun Devils missed a 3 … and got another offensive board. He drove and was forced into a wild shot that Keshad Johnson rebounded … and had poked away. But Graham missed both, and Pulliam made a tear-drop floater in the lane – his only basket of the game – with a minute left for a 64-63 win.ĪSU coach Bobby Hurley called timeout, and Sun Devils guard Marreon Jackson (16 points, seven rebounds, seven assists) drew a switch with the 6-foot-10 Mensah up top.

The Aztecs trailed by a point when Trey Pulliam missed a free throw (a recurring theme) and Nathan Mensah went over the back of ASU’s Jalen Graham on the rebound, sending him to the other end for free throws.
