Arizona State men's basketball head coach Randy Bennett earned a victory in his coaching debut as the Sun Devils defeated the East Tennessee State Buccaneers at Desert Financial Arena in Tempe on November 2, 2026.
The win marks the start of a new era for the program under Bennett, who previously coached at Saint Mary's. The game was played in front of a home crowd at the newly named arena.
Bennett was seen actively directing his team from the sidelines during the contest, which served as the season opener for both teams.
