Fanside: Take ASU with the points against UCLA
Peter Dewey writes, “Arizona State’s stats this season aren’t great, but the Sun Devils have been fantastic lately, upsetting Oregon with a 24-point win and winning four of their last six games. UCLA is clearly the superior team, especially when you see that Arizona State is in the top 300 in the nation in 3-point percentage, effective field goal percentage, points per game, true shooting percentage and field goal percentage on the court, but I don’t know if I can put up that many points with Arizona State is 12-10-3 ATS so far this season, and since it has proven that it can s hanging on to the Bruins, I’m ready to back the Sun Devils as huge underdogs.

Dave Kovaleski writes: “Arizona State is playing with a lot of momentum and confidence right now. And they know they can beat UCLA, because they did it just two weeks ago. Beat the Bruins at Pauley Pavilion , however, is another story I think the Bruins will get a win here at home, but the Sun Devils will win them Their defense went up a notch as they held their opponents within 60 points in each of their last three games and held UCLA to just 62 in regulation the last time they met.The other thing is that UCLA has two questionable key players.Take Arizona State here to get the points.
Sports Chat Place: Take UCLA to cover against Arizona State
Brett Nault writes, “Arizona State has been playing better basketball lately, which includes an impressive 81-57 win at home against Oregon recently, however, it’s still a team that has only 3-6 on the road this season and recently lost on the road to Washington by a 23 point margin. UCLA are 12-1 at home and in my opinion their 58th ranked defense will be able to slowing down an Arizona State offense that only ranks 311th in offense, 331st in FG%, & 331st in 3P-FG%, I take UCLA to do enough to cover this big home spread . Good luck !”
Pete Fiutak writes: “UCLA will be too good offensively at home. Arizona State is struggling to put points on the board, but they have a big problem when they step out of their friendly bounds – again, forget it all of three in this group.Sun Devil D will be good enough to keep it from getting too ugly, but UCLA will get a decent, professional win with an offensive flurry in the first half.
Nathaniel Reeves writes, “Even through all of the team’s struggles this season, the Arizona State defense has maintained the top 40 ratings in KenPom efficiency and effective field goal percentage. cleared for the season UCLA hasn’t shot the ball well all season with a 50.6 effective field goal percentage that sits just off the national average, and the Bruins could struggle here with the Arizona State totally shutting down decent teams in Oregon and Washington State in its last three games. The Bruins’ main concern right now is Jaquez Jr., who looks like a shell of himself with 13 points combined in their last three games as their ankle is obviously hurting, and the Singleton-Clark duo might not be able to wear them again on a tougher opponent if Juzang or Riley is limited. knowing that they can beat that UCLA team, and the Bruins have too many players to cover that big number.”
