Arizona State routs No. 17 Xavier 77-55

Unable to shake a cold, Ty Abbott barely slept on Friday night and didn’t eat on Saturday morning. He looked perfectly healthy on Saturday afternoon, scoring 19 points to lead Arizona State to a 77-55 rout of No. 17 Xavier. “I’ve felt this bad before, but as far as played this good, no way,” said Abbott, who brought a box of tissues to the postgame news conference.
