What to Know
The Arizona State Sun Devils have enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they must head out on the road. They will square off against the San Diego State Aztecs at 10:30 p.m. ET on Thursday at Viejas Arena at Aztec Bowl. ASU will be strutting in after a win while San Diego State will be stumbling in from a loss.
The Sun Devils beat the North Florida Ospreys 72-63 on Monday. ASU got double-digit scores from four players: guard DJ Horne (16), guard Marreon Jackson (13), forward Kimani Lawrence (12), and Jalen Graham (10). Horne hadn’t helped his team much against the California Riverside Highlanders last Thursday, so this was a nice turnaround for him.
Meanwhile, San Diego State was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap last week as they fell 66-60 to the Brigham Young Cougars. San Diego State’s defeat came about despite a quality game from forward Nathan Mensah, who had 18 points in addition to eight boards.
ASU is expected to lose this next one by 8.5. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in all their past three games.
The Sun Devils ended up a good deal behind the Aztecs when they played when the two teams previously met in December of last year, losing 80-68. Can ASU avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We’ll soon find out.
