ASU basketball faces an early must-win game

Yes, it's early January, but that doesn't change the truth: Arizona State can't afford to lose Sunday against Washington State. Even one week into the Pac-12 season, losing a second consecutive conference game would put the Sun Devils in a difficult position. Home games are precious in conference play. ASU -- which lost to Washington on Thursday -- learned this lesson last year, only later in the season. After starting 7-3 in Pac-12 action, the Sun Devils lost six of their final eight. Four of those losses came on the road, but it could be argued that the two home losses -- to Stanford and Washington -- kept them from an NCAA Tournament bid.
