Arizona State bounced back from a loss to Lehigh earlier this week with a decisive 93-54 victory over Detroit.
Forward Savon Goodman had his second double-double in a row, hitting 8-of-12 attempts for 22 points and grabbing 11 boards. He also had three steals, two assists and only turned the ball over once in his first start as a Sun Devil.
Shaquielle McKissic also poured in 14 points of his own, making 6-of-8 attempts. He led the Sun Devils with three steals and contributed four rebounds.
Arizona State’s runaway win brings the team to 7-5 (7-1 at home). They’ll face Harvard (7-2) next on Dec. 28 in Tempe.
