This is a long road trip for Arizona State, a team that is 4-1 UNDER the total against the Big East. They come off a victory over Pepperdine and the UNDER is 23-11-1 when following a Sun Devils' victory. Marquette has home court, but little depth or offense at #200 in the nation in scoring while shooting .434% as a team. Sophomores Deonte Burton and John Dawson left the program at the conclusion of the first semester and will transfer. The departures leave Marquette with just eight active scholarship players. The Golden Eagles are relying more on defense, forcing 16.4 miscues per game. Arizona State can play defense too, coming back from a 21-6 deficit to top UNLV 77-55. They had great second half defense as UNLV was 5-of-19 from the floor and had 18 second-half points. This one stays UNDER.
