ASU Basketball: Women’s Basketball Roundtable

With Pac-12 play off and running, the women’s basketball coverage team talks about ASU basketball’s turnaround, keys for Pac-12 play and offer predictions.

Arizona State enter the second weekend of Pac-12 play with an overall record of 10-3 and a 1-1 in Pac-12 play.

The Sun Devils struggled out of the gates beginning the season 2-2, including a 41-point loss to the hands of Maryland in Las Vegas.

That game was a wake-up call for Arizona State and that haven’t looked back since as they went on to win seven games in a row before falling to Stanford last Friday.

They bounced back Sunday with a double-overtime victory over California. It showed ASU’s resiliency as they were able to match Cal bucket-for-bucket.

The senior class of Sophie Brunner, Quin Dornstauder and Kelsey Moos look to carry the Sun Devils deeper this season after disappointingly losing in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season.

Arizona State have Utah, Colorado and Washington State next up before entering a brutal stretch versus the top teams in the Pac-12 conference.

It’s essential Sun Devils to pick up victories at home and in games in which they are favored because of the depth and level of competition in the Pac-12.

There are three questions that surround the women’s basketball team at the moment. What was the key to Arizona State’s turnaround from their 2-2 start, what are the keys for the Sun Devils to succeed in Pac-12 play and predictions for how the ladies will fare in the Pac-12.

You will read the thoughts of Sam Ficarro, Jordan Kaye, Gigi Micketti and Leah Soto.

Without further ado, the first topic of discussion.
