“We’ll be playing on the road a lot in these early weeks. But we’ll be tested. We’ll learn a lot from our team, and we’ll be able to build from that moving forward,” head coach Jerritt Elliott said Thursday.
Last year the Longhorns swept the Sun Devils when they squared off Sept. 14 at Gregory Gymnasium. But Arizona State rebounded from the lost and made it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
Here are live updates from today’s game:
Longhorns have too much power from the court and the service line to give the Sun Devils an early lead. But Bunton’s three kills keep the Longhorns close and Harris’ ace ties it, 4-4. Texas’ blocking ties it again 6-6 after a 2-0 ASU run. The Longhorns take the lead with an ace, but service errors give the Sun Devils the lead back.
