There's no better way to start off your season than with a win, even if it was one full of flaws that need to be corrected sooner rather than later. That is exactly the case for Arizona State Sun Devils basketball following the team's 2022-2023 season-opener against Tarleton State. A 62-59 final was played as close as the box score indicates, with the Sun Devils shooting just 33.9% as a team and under 50% from the free-throw line. This game could've been a much more comfortable win if they shot better, but it also could've been a loss had the defense not played as well as it did. Head coach Bobby Hurley wasn't thrilled by the win and neither were his players, but at least the team is starting off 2022-2023 on the right foot. Tune in to this edition of the Locked On Sun Devils podcast as host Richie Bradshaw discusses all the things that went right and wrong for the Arizona State Sun Devils basketball victory, including the debuts of transfers like Frankie Collins and the return of Marcus Bagley, plus what the team needs to continue building upon moving forward.
