The road has not been kind to the Sun Devils

The good news: ASU is on the road for what will be the final time this regular season.

The Sun Devils visit the Washington schools, with the first stop being Seattle to play the University of Washington Thursday.

The Huskies are 13-2 at home, with first place CAL the only Pac-12 team to win at Alaska Airlines Arena this season.

That success does not bode well for a Sun Devil team that has won but twice in eight tries on the road.

"We haven't been as good as the people we've played on the road," said head coach Herb Sendek, stating the obvious. "Our performance has not been up to a standard that would allow us to come away with wins."

ASU is not just losing on the road. ASU is getting blown out on the road.

The Sun Devils have been outscored by a combined 66 points in their last three road games (-21 at CAL, -24 at Stanford, -21 at Utah), and have dropped their last five by 15 or more points.

"I don't think it's so much a function of where we play but it's how we play," explained Sendek. "And I also don't think it's as much a function -- for us, as who we play as what we do that we're able to control."

ASU is averaging 10 fewer points on the road than at home (53.2 vs. 63.5).

"Our focus has to be internally," Sendek continued. "It's not about the opponent. It's about us. It's not about the site. It's about us."
