Arizona State vs Kansas State Betting Preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The chronicles of Arizona State’s situation have been well-documented by now. Thanks to injuries and suspensions, Bobby Hurley is playing guys he never thought he would have to at the end of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prior to February 26, freshman guard Trevor Best had played nine total minutes this season. He’s played 90 over the last four games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prior to February 26, freshman forward Amier Ali had not started a game this season. He’s played 143 out of a possible 160 minutes over the last four games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freshman forward Joson Sanon has played 155 out of a possible 160 minutes over the last four games. While we are tempted to lay the points with Kansas State, we’re a little more interested in the over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These teams split their regular season series with each team winning on the other’s home court. The most recent meeting was Arizona State’s 66-54 win in Manhattan, but Kansas State was missing fifth-year senior Coleman Hawkins in that contest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s been a very disappointing season for the purple ‘Cats, but anyone doubting Kansas State’s motivation heading into the Big 12 Tournament should take note of some of the quotes surrounding Coleman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Illinois transfer suffered a fractured tibia and only missed three games. Kansas State head coach Jerome Tang said, “Coleman wanted to play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the time he had the injury, he said, ‘I am coming back and I’m going to play.’ And he didn’t care what they said about how long it was going to take.” Well, alrighty then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arizona State vs Kansas State Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When these teams played in Tempe earlier this season, Hawkins finished with 11 points, seven assists and six rebounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This group of Arizona State youngsters can score, but they are not ready to defend at the Big 12 level. Arizona State allowed 97 points per game in its last four contests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sun Devils’ best chance for success in this matchup is to turn the game into a three-point shooting track meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
