Shots falling
The story during ASU’s five-game losing streak has been their inability to knock down three-pointers consistently.
That has not been the case during the first 20 minutes of play against Utah.

At the half, ASU is currently seven-of-12 from beyond the arc. Considering the team made just seven three-pointers through the entirety of their loss to Colorado, this is a step in the right direction.
Crucial second half
The Sun Devils have been able to keep it close against a great Utah team.
With 20 minutes left to play, they will need to continue shooting efficiently and keep turnovers down as they’ve been doing all season long.

This may be the most crucial half for the Sun Devils yet. A victory here could give them much-needed momentum for the last stretch of the season.
