The undefeated Arizona State Sun Devils (12-0), out of the Big 12 Conference, have a tough non-conference challenge in the Kennel against the West Coast Conference’s Gonzaga Bulldogs (6-4).
The Sun Devils have taken out four WCC opponents already (at San Diego Toreros, at Santa Clara Broncos, vs. San Francisco Dons, at Oregon State Beavers).
This is a game that can change coach Lisa Fortier and her ladies’ season completely around. As she continues her case for the National Freshman of the Year honor, redshirt freshman forward Lauren Whittaker must assert her dominant size inside the paint against a physical and feisty Arizona State group. True freshman forward Jaiden Haile can help her give an intimidating presence near the basket off the bench.
