The Stanford Cardinal comes into this game at just 15-12 overall and just 8-8 in Pac-12 play, which means that they must win the conference tournament in order to make it to the Big Dance. They are off a couple of home wins vs USC and UCLA, but this game is one the road where they have gone just 2-6 on the year, which includes a 2-5 mark in Pac-12 road games. The defense has been what has led this team as they are 97th in the nation in points allowed, giving up just 68.6 ppg, but teams do hit 43.8% of their shots against them, which is 204th and 35.5% from long range, which is 244th. The offense has not been good at all as they check in at 250th in scoring, putting up just 70.1 ppg on 42.8% shooting overall 9245th) and 33.4% from deep (238th). Just not great numbers all around for this team.
The Arizona State Sun Devils have really not had a good year as they are 14-15 overall, including just 4-12 in Pac-12 play, but they have been decent at home where they have gone 10-5 on the year. They have really struggled of late as they have lost their last four games in a row and have been outscored by 24 ppg over that stretch. Ouch. ASU is a rather average offensive squad as they come in ranked 164th in scoring, putting up 73.8 ppg, but they are a bad shooting team as they rank 285th in shooting overall, 226th from long range and 224th at the charity stripe. At the defensive end of the floor is where they have really had their issues as they come in ranked 245th in points allowed (74.5 ppg), 307th in defensive FG% and 236th in 3-point defense. This is a team with many problems right now and will need to win their last two game to have a shot at getting into any of the lesser post season tournaments this year.

[552] Arizona State -2 over Stanford
The Cardinal has had troubles on the road this year and they will be taking on an ASU squad that needs to put a few wins together so they can get a postseason invite somewhere. Stanford has scored just 68.5 ppg on the road and the Sun Devils have but up 78.5 ppg at home, which tells a big part oif this picture, especially since Stanford really struggles on defense away from home, where they allow 75.5 ppg. Stanford is 3-13 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600, while the favorite is 5-0-1 the last 6 in the series. Look for this one to go the way of the Sun Devils
