The Sun Devils are ranked No. 15 in the country after a 21-win season and are poised to add to that win total this year. Those expectations are led by sophomore All-American in-the-making James Harden, who connected on a double-double in his first outing of the season, netting 24 points and dishing out 10 assists. Arizona State can play big inside or shoot on the perimeter and will be a difficult matchup for the Aztecs. The Aztecs are not used to playing on this level as they have not hosted a top 25 team in two years. They are way over-matched here, so I'll back the Sun Devils to get win number two.
