There is a lot to bounce back from.
Arizona State is back at home for Easter weekend, meaning the Big 12 matchup against Texas Tech kicks off a rare Thursday-to-Saturday series.
The Sun Devils just returned from a four-game trip to the Midwest, where they lost three of their four games. First, dropping the series against Cincinnati, then losing a one-off game to Purdue.
Now that they are back at Muni, ASU will aim to beat Texas Tech, a team they appear to dominate historically. Not only does ASU lead the all-time series against the Red Raiders 17-6, but the last time they battled, the Sun Devils exploded for 38 runs across two games.
Despite an 11-21 record this season, Texas Tech is not a team to overlook. They sit only two games behind ASU in the Big 12 standings, making this series significant for both teams.
If last year's beatdown was any indication, the Red Raiders better come prepared.
Where to watch Arizona State vs Texas Tech
The Sun Devils (23-14) and Red Raiders (11-21) will throw out the first pitch at 6:30 PM MST at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
