PHOENIX –Arizona State men’s basketball is lost. After losing 74-70 to TCU, ASU extends its losing streak to five games, losing nine of its past 11 games. Saturday’s game is just another close game that the Sun Devils let slip out of their hands. The double OT loss to No. 12 Texas Tech, the loss to Kansas State because of missed free throws at the end, and more demoralizing losses for this team.

Bobby Hurley on the internal frustration following ASU's loss to TCU:
"My players didn't even want me to talk to them after the game. 'What do you want me to say?', is some of the comments that I got from my own players."@DevilsDigest pic.twitter.com/OhV9U3MwLV

The road out of this rut isn’t easy. ASU plays No. 6 Houston on Tuesday and then travels to a red-hot Kansas State squad. The Sun Devils are still looking for their first win in February, and on the road ahead, it might not be possible. Hurley is on the hot seat, and the frustration of this five-game losing streak is getting to him and his players. A seismic change is needed to turn the program around this season.
