ASU Faces Longer Road Trips

Bobby Hurley's team is no longer playing in the West Coast footprint of the Pac-12, which means the road trips will be longer for the Sun Devils in 2024-25.

ASU does not play at UCF this season, which is a big deal. Phoenix to Orlando is a four-hour plane ride and 1,850 air miles. The Sun Devils' longest Big 12 road trip will be at Cincinnati on Saturday, Jan. 18, followed by a game at West Virginia on Tuesday, Jan. 21. Both games are in the Eastern Time Zone.

They also face back-to-back road games at Oklahoma State (Sunday, Feb. 9) and Texas Tech (Wednesday, Feb. 12).

Late Start Times

Six of Arizona State's Big 12 games are scheduled to tipoff at 7:30 p.m. or later Mountain Standard Time. Five are home games and one is a road game at Arizona.

The latest start times are two 9 p.m. games: Tuesday, Jan. 14 vs. UCF and Tuesday, March 4 at Arizona.
