The Sun Devils turned back the Braves 74-54, but it wasn't quite the dominant effort the eighth-year head coach was hoping to see.
With Pac-12 play beginning later this week, Arizona State men's basketball coach Bobby Hurley was hoping for a good tune-up in a Sunday matinee against Alcorn State.
ASU tallied 20 assists on 24 made field goals. It had 21 assists on 24 baskets in the team's previous game. The Sun Devils had only two games all of last season in which they registered that many. Then, in the second half the Braves were still in striking distance at 43-39. ASU's Duke Brennan drew a charge on Alcorn's Shaun Walker, who objected enough to draw a technical foul, with those being his third and fourth fouls of the day.
