The Sun Devils are having a great year for a number of reasons, but the main one is that it’s their first season in the competitive great 12 Conference. This season and beyond, the Sun Devils will forge new rivalries with conference opponents like Oklahoma State, Missouri, Iowa State, and others. 3. Dan St. John, Markus Mollica, and Zahid Valencia are the only three Sun Devils in team history to have won two NCAA championships. This season, from March 20 to 22, Richard Figueroa will try to become a member of that select group at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center.
At least four Sun Devils players have been named All-American in four straight seasons. 4: The Sun Devils have finished in the top seven at the NCAA Championships each of their last four seasons, which is comparable to the streak mentioned above. 4: The Sun Devils return to Tempe on Friday, January 17 at 7 p.m. to face Northern Iowa, giving Sun Devils supporters four more opportunities to see defending champion Richard Figueroa and the squad at home this season. The match’s location has not yet been announced.
If he can earn his fifth career All-American selection this season—something no player in the program has ever done—he could stand alone in Sun Devil team history. He is currently one of only twelve Sun Devils to have received AA honors four times. 5. Through Figueroa, Schultz, Julian Chlebove, Jesse Vasquez, and Cael Valencia, Zeke Jones and the Sun Devils bring back five NCAA qualifiers from the previous campaign. With the club moving to the Big 12 Conference, having this core back is a huge lift
