GAME #12: ASU 91, SAN DIEGO 67 (DEC. 18)
Five players scored in double-figures, paced by Desmond Cambridge Jr.'s 23 (18 in the first half), as the Arizona State men's basketball team extended their winning streak to nine in a 91-67 victory over the San Diego Toreros. The Sun Devils used a 16-4 scoring stretch that circumvented halftime to pull away from San Diego after the Toreros had fought off a seven point disadvantage in the first half. ASU then went on a 18-2 stretch that finished with less than five minutes to play in regulation, moving ahead by 20 in the process and snapping any hopes of a San Diego comeback. The five men in double figures marked the first time since Feb. 2, 2020 that five Sun Devils had at least 10 points. Frankie Collins (12 points, 11 assists) and Devan Cambridge (13 points, 11 rebounds) each recorded double-doubles, the second and third of ASU's season. It is the first time Arizona State had two double-doubles in the same game since Dec. 19, 2021 at San Francisco.

GAME #11: ASU 73, CREIGHTON 71 (DEC.12)
Arizona State improved to 10-1, its best start since the 2017-18 campaign saw ASU start 12-0 in a thrilling victory over Creighton at the Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, 73-71. Engulfed in hostility and resisting several significant gut punches in the second half, Arizona State overcame a 21 point swing. Desmond Cambridge Jr. was lethal, dropping his game-high 19 points in a mere 18 minutes. With ASU taking body blows in the form of a 16-0 Creighton run early in the second half, he drilled two threes in less than 30 seconds and silenced the Bluejays faithful. The Sun Devils clamped down defensively - Creighton missed seven of their last nine shots in the final five minutes - and earned big baskets down the stretch from Warren Washington, Devan Cambridge and Desmond Cambridge Jr. in the massive win.

The Sun Devils achieved their best start to the season since the 2017-18 season (started 12-0 that season) and defeated SMU 75-57, marking the 35th time a Bobby Hurley team has comeback after being down at halftime. ASU fueled a 15-0 run to climb back into the game with the largest deficit being 11 points early in the first half. Once the Sun Devils regained the lead, they would never look back after junior DJ Horne lead the team in scoring with 22 points, followed by Devan Cambridge (13) and Frankie Collins (11) being the other two Sun Devils in double digits. ASU’s defense was as stifling as usual; this marked the fifth time Arizona State has held an opponent under 35% from the floor this season. The Sun Devils are also up to 56 blocks through their first 10 games, the fourth most an ASU squad has had in that span since at least the 1987-88 campaign.

Arizona State held a double-digit lead in the first half before Stanford mounted a furious run, at one point taking the lead late in the second half.
