Grambling State has yet to play a home game. The Tigers have lost to DePaul by 38, Marquette by 43 and Missouri State by 30 and now Arizona State by 42.
The Sun Devils, coming off a 78-56 win at DePaul, played the first of three-straight nonconference home games leading into the Pac-12 season. They don't play for another week, hosting Texas Tech next Saturday, then a week later are home against Cal-Irvine.
Grambling State finally gets to play a home game Monday night, against Central Baptist.
McKissic transferred from Edmonds, Wash. Community College and has just one year of eligibility.
The 42-point win matched the second-most one-sided victory in Sendek's eight seasons at Arizona State.
