The Arizona State Sun Devils have risen from the ashes of a difficult season last year to 13 wins already and four conference wins as they attempt to return to the NCAA Tournament this season. Arizona State already has quality wins over VCU, Michigan, Creighton and, most recently, over Washington. On Sunday afternoon, the Sun Devils downed the Huskies 73-65 to pick up their fourth Pac-12 win. The 4-1 start is the team's best start in conference play through five games since going 5-0 in 1979-80. Jamiya Neal led the way with a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds. Devan Cambridge also had a big night with a career-high 18 points in the win.
