At McKale Center, Arizona fans don’t sit down at the start of either half until the opposition makes its first shot.

By the time Arizona State made its first shot on Thursday night, nearly three minutes had passed and Arizona was up 12-2.

Had the fans at McKale waited to sit until ASU corralled its first rebound, strangely they would’ve been standing even longer. The Sun Devils didn’t grab their first miss until the 15:03 mark.Β
