The Sun Devils are above .500 on the year in the betting market, including a 6-3 mark against the spread in road games. The under is 17-8 in games involving Arizona State this season, including a 6-3 record on the road.<\/p>\n UCLA is 19-5 on the season, and 12-11 against the spread. The Bruins average 77 points per game while giving up 64.9 points per game. UCLA is 12-1 at home and 8-5 against the spread in those home games.<\/p>\n Late Season Surge<\/h3>\nAfter opening February with a fourth-straight loss in a 58-53 defeat to USC, it appeared inevitable that Bobby Hurley would be fired and a complete overhaul of the program would be necessary. Arizona State is 4-2 since that defeat dropped it to 6-13, which includes a stunning triple-OT win over UCLA as a 10-point underdog on Feb. 5.<\/p>\n Jaime Jaquez finished with 27 points and 11 rebounds while Johnny Juzang added 20 points and 10 boards but that wasn\u2019t enough to overcome their teammates\u2019 shooting woes and the fact Marreon Jackson came off the bench to lead the way is six Sun Devils scored in double-figures to outlast Mick Cronin\u2019s stingy defense.<\/p>\n ASU has pulled off an upset at Washington State, knocked off Oregon and blew out Oregon State over its last three contests to match its longest run of success this season, surrendering an average of 55 points per game.<\/p>\n The Sun Devils are also averaging 16.3 assists over their last three contests, sharing the ball nicely with a collective approach.<\/p>\n Banged-Up Bruins<\/h3>\nArizona State will attempt to pull off another upset against a UCLA team that may be missing Juzang, who fell off a scooter and missed this weekend\u2019s blowout of Washington. Mick Cronin said the nagging injuries are so bad \u201cit\u2019s like somebody\u2019s got a voodoo doll poking holes in my team,\u201d so we\u2019ll see how they fare against the rejuvenated Sun Devils.<\/p>\n Expectations are that the Bruins will have Cody Riley back from whatever kept him out against the Huskies and Juzang is looking like a game-time decision. Look for both teams to dig in defensively in what turns into a grinder that the Bruins ultimately claim down the stretch.<\/p>\n \n \n \n |
