Arizona State will attempt to earn its first home victory over rival Arizona in five seasons when the programs clash Saturday afternoon in their first matchup as Big 12 opponents.The Sun Devils (12-8, 3-6 Big 12) last earned a victory over Arizona (14-6, 8-1) in Tempe, Ariz., in January 2020.Arizona State coach Bobby Hurley is 2-7 against the Wildcats at home and 4-15 overall against the program’s archrivals since his hire in 2015-16.Hurley believes Arizona State’s difficult schedule, that has included 12 games away from Tempe as opposed to eight games at home, will help his team be mentally prepared against Arizona. The Sun Devils are 7-5 away from their home arena.The Wildcats have struggled away from home this season with a 4-5 record, that includes a 3-2 mark in true road games and 1-3 in neutral-site games.”We played a lot of hard games on the road already in the Big 12 and nonconference neutral sites,” Hurley said. “These guys are learning to fight together.”Arizona State won at Colorado 70-68 on Tuesday despite playing mostly a six-player rotation with Jayden Quaintance staying home with an ankle injury and BJ Freeman departing with a deep thigh bruise after playing four minutes.Adam Miller and Alston Mason played 39 minutes each and led the team with 18 and 17 points, respectively.The availability of Quaintance and Freeman against Arizona is undetermined.
