It is rare to see an Arizona team in a fight to reach the NCAA tournament so they aren't coming in here flat and uninterested. They have gone 5-8 in their last 13 games, but measure the losses. They lost to UCLA twice, USC twice, Washington State twice, Oregon, and North Carolina. Their losses came against top-tier NCAA teams. What isn't noticed is they are 17-0 since game one vs. everyone else! That includes a margin of victory of 15.4 ppg in those seventeen games. Arizona State is off a highly emotional win vs. USC. It was their first conference win of the season and we expect them to be flat here. When you have a flat bad team, facing a motivated good team, that is not the place for upsets.
