Very fortunate that Baylor had to back out. The Devils clearly weren’t ready for that level of competition. URI was actually the perfect way to kick off the season as they were competitive and tested ASU, making them dig deep to pull out the W. Christopher is a pure stud! Bagley looks so effortless and has the body that you know will develop and move Marcus into the elite level. Remy is Remy... he seems slightly more refined but still made a few stupid plays... And I still despise Cherry.
On Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. the Sun Devils will play number 3 ranked Villanova. It will be televised on ESPN.

How about those new uniforms. Pretty cool. https://www.azcentral.com/story/spo...niforms-rhode-island-game-jerseys/6429863002/
Remy is Remy... he’s never changed and he can never be anything but who he is. Passionate. Spirited. Pseudo-Leader. Out of control. Poor shooter. Poor FT shooter. Turn-over machine... Every once in a while he’ll find his stroke and sink some ridiculous 3’s. But that’s more of a fluke. He can penetrate and finish - sometimes, but too many times he penetrates and then turns the ball over... I love the kid. But he wouldn’t be a starter on any Top 10 team...
I didn't get to watch the game but I followed the box score. It looked like Remy Martin quit shooting in the second half (2-8) for 5 points for the game. His stats at halftime were close to being the same as at the end of the game. Forward Robinson-Earl looked like the real thing after watching video clips from the game. The same applied to Josh Christopher. I'm thinking the Sun Devils really miss Romello White. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore?gameId=401260008
