T-Allen-ted
Graduate transfer forward Allen Mukeba is solidifying his reputation as one of the premier rim protectors in all of college basketball. Mukeba is second on the team with six blocks this season, adding to his impressive career total. He is one of only 42 active NCAA Division I players with 105 or more blocks. Mukeba’s 105 career blocks are tied for the 39th-most of any active NCAA Division I player. He is one of only 19 NCAA Division I players nationally with over 105 career blocks in 92 career games or less.

Massamba making his mark
Freshman center Massamba Diop has been one of the most impressive freshman in the country through five games. He is second on the team in points (13.6) and rebounds (6.2), producing at that level in only 28 minutes per game. He also has a team-high eight blocks and is second on the team with seven steals, doing all this while committing only eight personal fouls in five games. He has had at least one steal in every game and at least one block in four of five contests.

Bench boost
Arizona State has received tremendous contributions from its bench through five games. After a 32-9 edge in bench points in the win over Hawai’i, the Sun Devils now hold a 126-78 (+48) advantage in bench points this season. Anthony “Pig” Johnson led the way with his third double-digit scoring output this season. Allen Mukeba added eight points and five rebounds, while Noah Meeusen added three steals.
Pushing the pace
Through five games, the Sun Devils have been one of the nation’s best teams in transition. They have finished with more fast-break points than their opponent in all five games, eclipsing 20 points in three of those contests. ASU outscored Hawai’i 17-5, including a 15-0 margin in the second half. Over the past two games (Hawai’i, Georgia State), the Sun Devils have a 44-10 edge in fast break points. ASU is averaging 20.4 fast break points, the 18th-best total in the nation.

Telling the Troueth
Redshirt sophomore Sun Devil forward Santiago Trouet has fit in seamlessly since transferring in from San Diego. In the matchup with No. 19 Gonzaga and a formidable frontline, Trouet had 10 points and 11 rebounds while adding two blocks. Trouet had two consecutive double-doubles earlier in the year, becoming the first Sun Devil since Kimani Lawrence in 2021 to accomplish the feat. Only two Sun Devils finished with at least two double-doubles all of last year, and Trouet accomplished the feat in three games.

Defending from Deep
Arizona State has held its first five opponents to a combined 34-of-124 from behind the arc. Teams are shooting a miniscule 27.4% from three-point range against the Sun Devils so far this season. That moves down to 24.4% in the second half off games.

Dialed in from deep
Arizona State’s starting backcourt has been extremely effective from three-point range this season. Moe Odum and Bryce Ford are a combined 24-for-56 (42.9%) from deep through five games. Ford leads the team shooting 52% (12-of-23) while Odum is tied with Ford for the team lead in made threes (12).

Non-conference schedule breakdown | Conference schedule breakdown

Constant competition
Bobby Hurley has once again assembled one of the nation’s toughest schedules. The Sun Devils have eight games on their schedule against teams in the latest AP Top-25, including three of the Top-10. ASU could play a total of 12 teams that received at least one vote in the lastest rankings.

ASU opponents in the AP Top-25 (As of 11/23)
2. Houston (Jan. 18 road game)
4. Arizona (Jan. 14 road game; Jan. 31 home game)
9. BYU (Jan. 7 road game)
15. Texas Tech (Feb. 17 home game)
13. Gonzaga (Nov. 14 home game)
16. Iowa State (Mar. 7 road game)
19. UCLA (Dec. 17 road game)
24. Kansas (Mar. 3 home game)
25. NC State (Potential Maui Invitational opponent)
RV USC (Potential Maui Invitational opponent)
RV Baylor, Kansas State (Big 12 single-game matchups)
Road warriors
Does any team in the nation have a tougher road schedule on paper in the preseason than Arizona State? It would be tough to argue. They have five road games scheduled against teams ranked in the top-16 of the AP Preseason Poll. That includes trips to No. 2 Houston and No. 8 BYU in addition to a non-conference battle with UCLA in Los Angeles. ASU will also face Texas and several other programs knocking on the door of the preseason Top-25 away from home when they travel to the Maui Invitational.

Impact transfers
A six-man transfer class immediately bolstered the Sun Devil Men’s Basketball roster. It is one of the premier transfer classes in program history. Moe Odum finished fourth in the nation, averaging 7.5 assists per game last year. Marcus Adams Jr. was an All-Big West Second Team selection, while Allen Mukeba landed on the Second Team All-Horizon League. Adante’ Holiman earned All-Sun Belt Conference Third Team distinction. Santiago Trouet made a big jump at San Diego a season ago and has three years of eligibility remaining. Scottsdale native Bryce Ford returns to the Valley after a successful run at Toledo. Odum and Adams Jr. were both rated as four-star prospects by 247 Sports.

About those Sun Devil wins
Coach Hurley has notched 172 wins at Arizona State and has done it while scheduling aggressively and not being afraid to play on the road. He has won 108 games in Arizona, but also has won at least five games in California (16), Nevada (13), Oregon (six) and Washington (five). Four wins have taken place in Utah, three in New York, and two in Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Single wins have taken place in Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Texas, and West Virginia. He added Hawai’i to that list on Thursday. Hurley has now won in a total of 19 different states while at ASU.

Jeff Pendergraph Hall of Fame
A cornerstone of the Sun Devil Men’s Basketball program from 2005 to 2009, Ayres left an indelible mark on ASU Basketball. He was part of the 2025 Sun Devil Athletics Hall of Fame class. Over 126 games, he averaged 12.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, and shot an impressive 58 percent from the field. His senior season was his finest, as he led the nation in field goal percentage at 66 percent, averaged 14.5 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, and earned First-Team All-Pac-10 honors. Notably, he delivered a 31-point, 11-rebound performance in a decisive win over Stanford in January 2009.

Ayres ranks sixth all-time in scoring (1,588 points), second in rebounds (942), and his 2008-09 field goal percentage is the school record. He is the only player in program history to lead the team in rebounding four consecutive seasons and helped guide ASU to a 25-win campaign and NCAA Tournament berth in his senior year.

Following his collegiate career, Ayres was selected in the 2009 NBA Draft and went on to play six seasons in the NBA, including a championship run with the San Antonio Spurs in 2014, before continuing his career overseas.

His consistency, leadership, and inside dominance made him a pillar during a pivotal era of transition for ASU basketball.
