The Arizona State Sun Devils have been named a #1 seed in the National Invitation Tournament and will take on the regular season champions of the SWAC, the Alabama State Hornets. Alabama State was bounced in the semifinals of the SWAC tournament this past Friday by Jackson State.

The game will take place in Tempe at 8:00 PM on Tuesday night and will be televised to a national audience on ESPN2.
