Arizona State at Arizona

The Sun Devils got out of the gate at 14-2 and looked like a player in the Pac-10 mix, but the wheels have fallen completely off. They have now dropped five in a row, and even their two wins prior to the five-game skid, required OT to win. They have dropped their last three on the road by an average of over 20 points per game, and have come no closer than 14. The offense that was once scoring over 70 points a game has really struggled, as they have managed just 54.4 ppg in their last five. Tough to find the win column when you’re shooting 38%, and 29.6% from behind the arc, getting pasted on the boards by 10 a game and forcing just 10 turnovers a game. Those are the numbers for the Sun devils in their last five. The Wildcats have seven losses, but have played the toughest schedule in the country, that has already featured going against seven teams in the top 10 in the country, and gave Kansas their toughest home game this season in an OT loss. This team has shooters all over the court, takes care of the ball and playing well. We see a convincing Wildcat win here.
