Why Arizona State Will Win

How did Arizona State do it the first time around?

It beat UCLA in a three-overtime thriller a few weeks ago after shooting well from the three, doing a solid job on the boards, and holding on for dear life late before rolling in that third extra frame.

The record might not be all that great, and it’s almost certainly going to be a losing season, but this is a better team than it seems. It hasn’t been too bad from three when it takes its chances, the defense has been terrific, and the offense moves the ball around well.

UCLA has been really, really flaky from three and it has offensive stalls once in a while. As long as this doesn’t come down to a free throw contest, Arizona State should be able to hang around.

But …

Why UCLA Will Win

Yeah, you think UCLA will be a wee bit fired up to get revenge after Arizona State’s win back in Tempe?

Nah, it probably isn’t going to be that jacked to do that, but it certainly won’t take the Sun Devils lightly.

The Bruin defense will pack it in, force the Sun Devils to try hitting from the outside, and then it’ll rely on the offensive punch to take care of the rest.

Arizona State might do a great job defensively, and it’ll get its share of rebounds, but as long as UCLA is able to move the ball around like it did in the first game, limit the turnovers, and hit something from three once in a while, there won’t be any drama.

What’s Going To Happen

UCLA will be too good offensively at home.

Arizona State struggles as is to put points on the board, but it has a big-time problem when it gets out of its friendly confines – again, forget about anything from three from this group.

The Sun Devil D will be good enough to keep this from getting too ugly, but UCLA will get a decent, business-like win with one first half offensive burst.

Why UCLA Will Win

Arizona State is playing tough.

It’s battling hard, it gave Arizona a rough run, it played its brand of defense well to keep the high-powered Wildcats to just 32% from the field …

And lost.

It bounced back to give USC a (Sun) devil of a time. The Trojans couldn’t do anything from the outside, only hit 30% from the field, and it couldn’t get into any sort of a groove. Arizona State allowed just 58 points …

And lost.

Arizona State has to play games in the 50s, and it has to hope that the shooting can start to work after whiffing time after time on the outside. The bigger problem in those two losses was the inability to grab a rebound.

ASU has given up 140 rebounds over the last three games, and …

Why Arizona State Will Win

How tired is UCLA?

It’s one of the best teams in the country, but it had a bit run of games with a stunning win over Arizona, two wins over Cal and Stanford, and a tough road loss to the Wildcats over the last two weeks.

Now it has to deal with a road game against a team that plays a whole lot of defense and really is doing a great job of pressuring teams from the outside.

The Sun Devils don’t have a turnover problem and they’re strong at keeping teams to 40% shooting or under. If UCLA is lacking any energy whatsoever, it’s going to have to grind a game with a whole lot more work than it might like.

And no, UCLA doesn’t rebound like Arizona or USC.

What’s Going To Happen

Arizona State just doesn’t score enough.

The team can’t seem to get to 70 points, and it failed to get to 60 eight times. UCLA has yet to score fewer than 60 points.

The Sun Devil defense will continue to bring enough pressure and big plays to make this interesting for a while, but UCLA will have one spurt and that will be that.
