The Sun Devils are only shooting 41.7% from the field, compared to 47.8% for Stanford. The Cardinal have dropped two of their last three games, but their offense has been very solid this season. I don’t care for this Arizona State team and that shooting percentage is only going to get you so far. Take Stanford on the road.
