PHOENIX — Things were off to a shaky start on multiple fronts before Arizona State men’s basketball ended the first half of Saturday’s Jerry Colangelo Classic vs. Oklahoma in dominant fashion.
Before the game even started, ASU was assessed a technical foul for turning in its starting lineup late. It wasn’t costly, however, as Oklahoma missed the free throw that followed.
When the game did start, the Sun Devils were quickly outrebounded 3-0 in the first 90 seconds with two empty possessions on offense.
Bobby Hurley responded as he has at times in the past: with a full line change, taking all five starters out.

It’s doubtful he could’ve expected quite the response from his team that he got, as ASU roared out to a 27-2 run while shooting 9 of 13 from the field to take a commanding 21-point lead with 10:21 left in the half.
Hurley was likely most pleased with the rebounding difference of 21-15 the rest of the half after the poor start.
Moe Odum had 10 points to lead all scorers in the first half despite the early yank, doing so on 3 of 4 shooting. Noah Meeusen was huge from a table-setting standpoint with seven assists and no turnovers, including setting up a transition dunk for Bryce Ford.
Ford would end the half by making a half-court heave, but a review determined it came off the hands after the buzzer.
The 21-point lead ASU had with 31 seconds left in the frame was two short of the team’s largest lead of the season (23 vs. Utah Tech). The Sun Devils set a new 25-point mark early in the second half.
The 28 points scored by the Sooners in the first half was the lowest total the Sun Devils have allowed in a half since Nov. 17 when Georgia State scored 23 in the second half.
