Arizona State is not a bad basketball team. The Sun Devils entered Thursday night at 15-12 overall and winners of their last three games. One problem: Utah looks like it might be a very good team at the moment and emphatically proved it in the first 20 minutes of the game:
Utah is absolutely destroying Arizona State at half
Ricky O'Donnell has covered basketball at all levels for more than a decade at SB Nation. He’s currently the Associate Director of Programming.
NINE. 9. nine. That is not too good, ASU.
The Sun Devils had 10 turnovers. Utah had 10 blocks. Arizona State had nine points. Nine.
It wasn’t always a beatdown. With six minutes remaining, Utah led, 23-9. Then Larry Krystkowiak’s team ended the half on an 18-0 run to blow things open.
It got ugly:
Utah has blocked 9 of ASU's 22 FGAs (40.9%), which is pretty amazing. Pac-12 high this season is Oregon State's 13 vs Colorado. Utes up 28-9

Update: Utah had to settle for merely doubling up ASU.
Final: Utah 83, Arizona State 41. Bring on Arizona-Utah.
