Arizona State men's basketball coach Herb Sendek picked up win No. 401 of his career on Saturday when his Sun Devils handed Pepperdine an 81-74 loss in Tempe. But the school had a small celebration on the court before the game, as athletic director Ray Anderson gave Sendek a custom-made basketball to commemorate his 400th career victory.

With ASU's 77-55 win against UNLV on Dec. 3, the 51-year-old Sendek became the third-youngest college basketball coach to reach the 400-win mark, behind UCLA's Steve Alford and Florida's Billy Donovan. It's worth noting that Sendek was an assistant coach at Providence when Donovan was a college player in the 80s, while Alford is now Sendek's Pac-12 rival in Westwood.
