ASU felt the pain of playing in The Pit. The Lobos' defense held the Devils to 29.5% from the floor.

"Our defense was just the equalizer," said New Mexico coach Don Flanagan. "We wanted to hold them to 61 and we held them to 45. Our defense wasn’t too shabby."

Said Kylan Loney, who went 0-for-7 from the floor: "They didn't beat us; we beat ourselves."
