First Meeting
Arizona State persevered until the very end, but suffered a narrow 71-70 loss to Kansas State in the meeting back on February 4 in Tempe. After the Wildcats took a 13-point lead early in the second half, the Sun Devils found their rhythm and chipped away at the lead. At one point, Arizona State even managed to retake the lead late in the contest.
Four Sun Devil's managed to reach double figures in tonight's matchup, with Alston Mason leading the way with 20 points while also adding six assists. Forward Basheer Jihad finished with 15 points while connecting on 6-of-7 from the line. Guard BJ Freeman continued his effective scoring, reaching double figures for the 17th time. He finished the night with 14 points and cleared the glass for seven boards. On top of that, Adam Miller finished with 10 points while shooting 4-of-6 from the field.
Last Time Out
Arizona State (12-14, 3-12) faced a tough challenge against No. 5 Houston (22-4, 14-1) and the nation's No. 1 scoring defense, falling 80-65. The Sun Devils originally trailed 76-53 with six minutes remaining, but persevered and managed to put together an 11-0 scoring run to bring their deficit within 12. Though Arizona State could not ultimately complete the comeback, there were still several bright spots in the loss.
Alston Mason and BJ Freeman continue to score a high level and were the key contributors to keeping the Sun Devils alive in tonight's contest. Alston Mason had a season-high for the Sun Devils, finishing the night with 26 points, while connecting on 8-of-9 from the field and shooting 6-of-7 from the line. BJ Freeman ended the night with 17 points, while connecting on 5-of-11 from the field, and cleaning the glass for four boards.
From the Stripe
Over the past four games, Arizona State's ability to knock down shots from the free throw line has been a bright spot. The Sun Devils are a combined 65-of-82 (79.3%) from the line despite being on the road in hostile environments in two of those games. The backcourt of Alston Mason and Joson Sanon have combined to go 26-of-28 (92.9%) from the stripe. Mason has made his last 30 of his past 31 free throws dating back to the Iowa State game. Amier Ali is shooting 86.6% (26-of-30) at the line in Big 12 games and is 11-for-12 in the last four games. Mason is on pace to finish with one of the Top-10 seasons in program history from the stripe.

Double A Insurance

We Will Block You
Arizona State is first in the Big 12 and 26th nationally averaging 4.9 blocks per game. Freshman Jayden Quaintance is a big reason why, contributing a league-best 2.8. Basheer Jihad, Shawn Phillips Jr., and BJ Freeman each have ten or more blocks this season.
Shawn Stuffs
Through his first 17 games, junior center Shawn Phillips Jr. collected seven blocks. Over his past seven games, he has emerged as a rim protector, recording 17 blocks (2.4 per game).
Buying Stocks
Quaintance has combined for 87 'stocks' (62 blocks + 25 steals) in only 23 games so far this season. He is one of only two players in the nation (only high major conference player) to boast these numbers (60+ blocks and 25+ steals) despite missing three full games and exiting two others early due to injury. The only Power 4 + Big East player with similar numbers is Creighton senior center Ryan Kalkbrenner, with the same 87 stocks in two extra games (69 blocks + 18 steals). Another comparison is National Defensive Player of the Year candidate Johni Broome from Auburn, who has 82 stocks in 24 games (64 blocks + 18 steals).
Block Party
Freshman Jayden Quaintance has recorded 62 blocks thus far in the 2024-2025 season and averages the seventh-most blocks per game (2.7) of any player in the nation. He broke the program freshman record and did so in only 18 games. He has two or more blocks in 18 of 23 games this year, including eight 4+ block performances.
