The <b>Sun Devils<\/b> defeated <b>Hawaii 83-76<\/b> on <b>November 20<\/b>, proving they can win away from home. <b>Guard Moe Odum<\/b> took over down the stretch with <b>14 points<\/b>, including crucial moments in the final minutes. <b>Bryce Ford<\/b> led the team with a career-high <b>20 points<\/b> on efficient shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Head Coach <b>Bobby Hurley<\/b> has built a team that doesn&#8217;t quit. <b>Arizona State<\/b> trailed at halftime against <b>Hawaii<\/b> but outscored them <b>49-27<\/b> in the second half. This marks <b>ASU&#8217;s<\/b> second consecutive 4-1 start, something only achieved <b>five times<\/b> under <b>Hurley&#8217;s<\/b> tenure. The backcourt duo of <b>Odum<\/b> and <b>Ford<\/b> combined to shoot <b>42.9%<\/b> from three-point range this season.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>Sun Devils<\/b> haven&#8217;t appeared in the <b>Maui Invitational<\/b> since <b>2007<\/b>, when <b>James Harden<\/b> led them to a <b>2-1 record<\/b>. Back then, <b>ASU<\/b> compiled a <b>9-6<\/b> all-time record in the tournament. <b>Hurley<\/b> won the <b>1992 Maui Invitational MVP<\/b> as a player, giving the storyline added intrigue.<\/p>\n<h2>Texas Looks to Stay Hot in Hawaii<\/h2>\n<p><b>Sean Miller&#8217;s<\/b> <b>Texas Longhorns<\/b> have won <b>four consecutive games<\/b> since their season-opening loss to <b>Duke<\/b>. The <b>Longhorns<\/b> entered the tournament after beating lighter competition, but tonight they face a real test. <b>ESPN&#8217;s<\/b> analytics give <b>Texas<\/b> an <b>86.5%<\/b> chance to advance past the <b>Sun Devils<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>Longhorns<\/b> are led by <b>Matas Vokietaitis<\/b>, a <b>sophomore center from Lithuania<\/b>. He&#8217;s been incredible early, attempting <b>41 free throws<\/b> in <b>five games<\/b> while recording <b>seven blocks<\/b>. <b>Texas<\/b> brings elite rebounding and scoring efficiency to this matchup. Their defense has limited opponents, giving up just <b>62.6 points per game<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>This is the <b>first time<\/b> these rivals have met since <b>March 20, 2014<\/b> in the <b>NCAA Tournament<\/b>. <b>Texas<\/b> leads the all-time series <b>5-1<\/b>. Remarkably, <b>ASU<\/b> has yet to defeat <b>Texas<\/b> in three neutral-site meetings.

Meanwhile, <b>Massamba Diop<\/b>, <b>Arizona State&#8217;s<\/b> freshman center, will be tested by <b>Vokietaitis<\/b> and <b>Texas&#8217;s<\/b> elite rebounding.<\/p>\n<p><b>Moe Odum<\/b> is on pace for <b>230 assists<\/b> this season, which would rank third all-time at <b>ASU<\/b>.

Getting <b>Odum<\/b> involved early could unlock <b>Arizona State&#8217;s<\/b> entire offense. <b>Texas<\/b> must contain his playmaking to control pace.<\/p>\n<h2>Can ASU Exploit the Underdog Role in Hawaii?<\/h2>\n<p><b>Arizona State<\/b> enters as <b>+7.5 underdogs<\/b>, but that narrative feels incomplete. Yes, <b>Texas<\/b> is a heavy favorite, but <b>ASU<\/b> has proven they can compete.

Before tonight, they hold an astonishing <b>18-0 record<\/b> in neutral-site regular season games during his tenure. That includes wins over <b>Creighton, New Mexico, Xavier, Saint Mary&#8217;s<\/b>, and <b>several other high-major programs<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this opportunity special? <b>ASU<\/b> hasn&#8217;t beaten <b>Texas<\/b> at a neutral site in history. Breaking through tonight would transform the narrative around this program. <b>Bobby Hurley&#8217;s<\/b> squad believes they&#8217;re different from years past. Can they prove it against a <b>Texas<\/b> team that still has something to prove after that <b>Duke<\/b> loss opened the season?<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s at Stake Beyond Monday Night?<\/h2>\n<p><b>For Arizona State:<\/b> A win launches them into the tournament semifinals with massive momentum heading into <b>Big 12 conference play<\/b>. With a loss, they still have consolation bracket opportunities, but a victory sends a championship message.<\/p>\n<p><b>For Texas:<\/b> Winning keeps their unbeaten streak alive and validates <b>Sean Miller&#8217;s<\/b> program rebuild. A loss doesn&#8217;t hurt their tournament resume much, but it would be the upset that shakes the early-season rankings.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>2025 Southwest Maui Invitational<\/b> runs through <b>November 26<\/b> at the <b>Lahaina Civic Center<\/b>.
