Gonzaga Hosts Arizona State in Season Opener

No. 6 Gonzaga will host Arizona State in their first-ever meeting on November 10, following Gonzaga's dominant 101-63 victory over No. 8 Baylor in their season opener. Arizona State, which has struggled in previous games, recently achieved a more spirited 81-74 win against Santa Clara, led by BJ Freeman's 17 points. The Sun Devils, under coach Bobby Hurley, aim to improve their offensive consistency after a lackluster performance in their opening game against Idaho State. Gonzaga boasts a strong roster with returning starters and aims to extend its streak of 20 consecutive home-opening wins at the McCarthey Athletic Center. Both teams are looking to establish their identities early in the season, with Gonzaga seeking to maintain its high performance and Arizona State focusing on building momentum.
