Arizona State men's basketball team releases non-league schedule

The Arizona State men's basketball team released its full schedule for the 2024-25 season on Friday. ASU has games against Gonzaga, Florida and either USC or Saint Mary's before its Opening The Big 12 schedule begins.

Bobby Hurley's team will also face Grand Canyon at the Footprint Center as part of the Hall of Fame Series on Nov. 14. ASU has not played against Bryce Drew's Antelopes since the 2021-22 season.

The Sun Devils open play on October 27 with a charity exhibition match against Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium to benefit Duke Children's Hospital.

Arizona State's regular season opener is Nov. 5 against Idaho State at Desert Financial Arena. After a neutral-site game against Santa Clara in Las Vegas, the Sun Devils will head to Spokane to face Mark Few's Gonzaga Bulldogs, who finished last season ranked No. 15 nationally. ASU will begin a home-and-away series against the Bulldogs on Nov. 10.

The Sun Devils will face New Mexico at the Acrisure Classic in Palm Springs on Thanksgiving night, Nov. 28. On the other side of the four-team bracket, USC will face Saint Mary's, setting up a possible Pac-12 reunion with the now Big Ten Trojans.

ASU hosts San Diego on Dec. 3 before completing non-conference play on the East Coast. The Sun Devils face Florida in Atlanta on Dec. 14, followed by a road game at UMass on Dec. 21.

Gonzaga, GCU, New Mexico, Saint Mary's and Florida were all NCAA tournament teams last March.

Guard Adam Miller and center Shawn Phillips Jr. return, but there will be plenty of new faces on the Sun Devils this year. Veteran transfers Austin Nunez (Ole Miss), Basheer Jihad (Ball State), Alston Mason (Missouri State), Brandon Gardner (USC) and BJ Freeman (UW Milwaukee) joined the program this offseason.

The freshmen are led by 5-star forward Jayden Quaintance and 4-star wings Joson Sanon and Amier Eli.
