The Sun Devils survived the First Four to continue into the first round of the NCAA March Madness Tournament. ASU will play No. 6 TCU on Friday.
DAYTON, Ohio - Any doubt as to whether the Arizona State Sun Devils were deserving of an NCAA Tournament berth was put to rest in a hurry.
Players admitted they maybe felt a little disrespected by being relegated to the play-in game but are taking it in stride and look forward to their shot against one of the Big 12's best. The biggest ASU lead was 30 points at 56-26 in the opening seconds of the second half. Nevada was not able to get closer than 19 points.Jamiya Neal has turned out to be a key factor, getting significantly more playing time with true freshman Austin Nunez out with a concussion since Feb. 18. Nunez had been one of the team's best shooters and on-ball defenders.
Cambridge ended up with 17 points and six assists while Washington managed nine points, five rebounds, four assists and a block. Players say they are not concerned because getting the opportunity to play on the big stage is enough to keep them going.
