2 — Years in a row that the ASU men's basketball team has knocked off a top-10 Arizona team in Tempe. While not quite as exciting as last year's double-overtime thriller, Saturday's win was arguably more surprising as senior guard Bo Barnes led the way to victory.

51.7 — Free throw shooting percentage by No. 6 Arizona in ASU's 81-78 upset win on Saturday. That in large part was thanks to the 942 Crew's stellar effort in what was its second-largest student attendance total ever, according to associate athletic director Bill Kennedy.

0.0 — Time left on the clock when Cal forward Penina Davidson's last-second shot went through the basket, securing the Golden Bears a 50-49 upset win over the No. 10- ASU women's basketball team Sunday.

31 — Years since the ASU women's basketball team had swept Stanford before defeating the No. 12-ranked Cardinal on Friday night.

4 — Number of home runs hit by the ASU softball team in its dominant win over Indiana Saturday night in the Kajikawa Classic, leading to this wonderful meme:

3 — Number of losses for the Sun Devils softball team in seven games at the Kajikawa Classic. That total for No. 16 ASU is the most losses for any program currently listed in the ESPN/USA Softball top 25.

2 — Number of hat tricks by ASU hockey players over their three-game weekend series against Colorado State and Colorado. Sophomore forward Eric Rivard put three goals in the back of the net Thursday, followed by senior forward Liam Norris' three in the series finale Saturday.

23 — Goal differential for ASU hockey in its five shorthanded games against Arizona, Colorado State and Colorado. The Sun Devils lost six players to the World University Games in Spain, but still managed to outscore opponents 31-8 in winning all five games.

10, 10 — Back-to-back scores for Utah gymnasts Tory Wilson and Georgia Dabritz on Friday night, the first consecutive perfect scores for the program since 1993. ASU lost a competitive battle to the No. 4 Utes 197.825-194.100.

38 — Score under-par for the ASU golf team, who took home a team win for the second week in a row. Juniors Max Rottluff and Jon Rahm (fresh off his Phoenix Open appearance) led the way for the Sun Devils, shooting 11-under-par each.

5 — Number of first-place finishes for the men of ASU's swim and dive team. The Sun Devils were unable to overcome a long drought against Arizona, falling in their last dual-meet of the season.

3 — Number of Sun Devil wrestlers with first-place finishes in Saturday's Edinboro Open. Sophomore Oliver Pierce, junior Ray Waters and redshirt junior Blake Stauffer all won their respective weight classes.
