After four straight losses, there are a lot of questions surrounding the Arizona State men's basketball team.
Three weeks ago the Arizona State basketball team was sitting pretty and off to the best start in Pac-12 play in 40 years. The team was playing with the defensive intensity coach Bobby Hurley wanted and the team chemistry appeared to be the best it has been in several years.
The four losses consisted of two at home to the Los Angeles schools, then two on the road last week against the Washington schools. First was a 69-66 overtime loss to Washington, followed by a 75-58 setback at Washington State. There was also the matter of slumping junior guard D.J. Horne, who has struggled in recent games and was benched in the second half of the Washington loss, then suspended for the Washington State game for what was deemed"conduct detrimental to the team."
Horne, the team's second-leading scorer has started 20 games, the only other game he missed being the one against Texas Southern in which he was out with a non-COVID illness. The Sun Devils have been among the top teams in several defensive categories, one of those three-point percentage defense, although that hasn't been the case in the recent stretch.
He also isn't taking for granted that these are winnable games since they handled both teams on the road relatively recently.
