The Arizona State Sun Devils (11-10, 2-6 Big 12) are seeking to regain momentum on what has become a turbulent season, including a heartbreaking loss to UCF earlier in the week, when they return home to take on the 21-0 Arizona Wildcats on Saturday afternoon. The Big 12 mandated player availability report revealed that the same injured players will remain out for the Sun Devils, forcing head coach Bobby Hurley to continue using an eight-man rotation.

Why it matters

Arizona State has struggled with injuries this season, which has limited Hurley's ability to rotate players and maintain a competitive edge against top teams like Arizona. The Wildcats are undefeated and pose a significant challenge for the Sun Devils, who will need to find a way to overcome their injury woes to have a chance at pulling off the upset.

The details

The Sun Devils will be without several key players, including senior guard Holiman, who transferred from Georgia Southern but has been sidelined by an elbow injury since before the season opener. Sophomore Adams Jr. will also miss his eighth consecutive game due to a lower-body injury. Despite the injuries, Hurley plans to continue using an eight-man rotation, with Moe Odum, Bryce Ford, Santiago Trouet, Andrija Grbovic, and Massamba Diop likely starting, and Noah Meeusen, Anthony "Pig" Johnson, and Allen Mukeba providing bench support.

  • The Sun Devils fell to the Wildcats 89-82 in Tucson just 17 days ago.
  • The game is scheduled for Saturday, January 31, 2026 at noon MST.
