ASU Basketball: Washington outlasts Sun Devils in crunch time

For the second week in a row, the Sun Devils have been on the cusp of winning the first game of a league weekend. However, late game lapses have resulted in two losses as ASU continues to work for an elusive win that continues to evade them.

Here are the takeaways from the game.

Yes, the Sun Devils overcame a 12-point deficit and competed down the stretch but the first-year man coached a better game start to finish. Hopkins employed a 3-2 zone that puzzled ASU for the duration of the first half.

Offensively, the Huskies ran a motion offense that utilized the inside-outside combo of guard Jaylen Nowell and forward Noah Dickerson.
