TEMPE – As Arizona State prepared to take on the Washington Huskies, the command from coach Bobby Hurley to Kimani Lawrence was simple: “Hey, I need 20 rebounds from you tonight.”
Whether serious or farcical, the message was received by the senior forward, who delivered two nights later by posting 21 points and a career-high 20 rebounds in an 80-72 win over those same Huskies. Lawrence became the first Sun Devil to score 20 points and collect 20 rebounds in a game since Mike Batiste put up 36 points and 20 rebounds against Wagner in November 1997.
