The Arizona State Sun Devils have a men's college basketball team. The team plays within the Division 1 level of men's college basketball. This Division 1 level is widely regarded as the most competitive division of all of the levels of college basketball.

The team has had a very interesting history over the years. They are by no means one of the more successful schools in the nation, but they have definitely had some moments of success over the years of their existence. One of the biggest accomplishments available to more universities is being considered as a team that is worthy of being admitted into the NCAA tournament.

The NCAA tournament features the top 64 teams in the nation. Many teams make the tournament by winning their conference. Other teams manage to gain entry to the tournament by being selected by a committee. The Sun Devils have managed to make the NCAA tournament 13 times in the history of their franchise. The most recent invitation that they have received to play in the tournament came in 2009.

To go along with those 13 NCAA tournament appearances, the team has managed to win their Conference ...
... Championship 8 different times. These championships were split between two conferences. Four of the championships came while playing in the WAC. The other 4 championships came while playing in the BOR.

The team has never been a perennial threat to make the top 25. They simply have not had a huge base of talent coming in and out of the university over the years. The team has had its bright spots though. The brightest spot came in the 1980-81 season. The team was led by the likes of Byron Scott, Alton Lister and Fat Lever. Many people wouldn't recognize all of those names, but Byron Scott is a name that most basketball fans remember.

Scott was known for his great scoring ability. Much of his scoring came from a jump shot that is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful strokes of all time. While Scott was leading the way the Sun Devils managed to climb up the national rankings. They managed to land as the #3 team in the nation at one point during that season. This ranking represents the highest ranking that the team has ever achieved to this point.

The team is currently in a mindset of changing the school's attitude towards the sport. While they have not won any championships, they have started to win a lot more games. The team has managed to win at least 20 games 3 different times under the leadership of their current coach Herb Sendek. Sendek even managed to lead the Sun Devils team to a Pac-10 tournament championship game. While the Sun Devils were not able to win the championship game, they did manage to get some momentum leading into the NCAA tournament. This momentum allowed them to win their first round game and advance to the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament in 2009.
