The Curtain was primarily used in men’s basketball, with ASU opponents shooting 69.7 percent in the first half compared to 60.1 percent in the second half (with the Curtain).
ASU earned the No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament and hosts Ohio at 3:30 p.m. on ESPN2. If the Sun Devils win, they face either No. 6 Texas A&M or No. 11 Arkansas-Little Rock on Monday.
