She wasn't meant to stay at Grand Canyon forever. She had bigger and better things to do with the Sun Devils. She led them to a 24-11 record last season and a First Four loss in the NCAA Tournament.

That was just the beginning too. The 41-year-old got her second year at Arizona State off to a hot start on Tuesday during their home opener against Jackson State. The Lady Tigers never stood a chance.

That is what you call, and what the social media manager for the women's basketball team calls, "Stepping into Year 2 in style." The classic "look good, feel good, play good" to start the season.

Miller couldn't have scripted a better start to the season. Not only did the Sun Devils win, they did so in dominant fashion in all aspects of the game. That goes for coaching and getting attention on social media too.

Molly Miller and the Arizona State Sun Devils should put together another solid season of winning and going viral.
