Arizona State lowest seed alive:

Arizona State is one of the final 16 teams playing in the NCAA tournament despite being without its leading scorer. But Sun Devils coach Charli Turner Thorne said it'll be about defense in Sunday's game against Texas A&M in the regional semifinal at Trenton, N.J.

"It's not going to be about flow, that's for sure," Turner Thorne said Wednesday. "I think a lot of basketball in March is not about flow. It's not pretty, because you don't get this far without being a great defensive team."
