TEMPE -- The Arizona State Sun Devils men's basketball program is officially entering a new era marked by principles, a sense of unity, and the desire to compete at a high level in an incredible Big 12 conference. Freshly minted head coach Randy Bennett spoke to the media in a full capacity for the first time since accepting the role on March 23 on Thursday morning, covering a wide array of topics. Among those was Arizona State's unfortunate reality of losing several key players from the previous roster, with retention ultimately one of the main themes of the morning.
