Arizona St. Sun Devils Analysis

The Arizona State Sun Devils recently ended a four-game losing streak with a strong second-half performance to defeat the #23 West Virginia Mountaineers on the road. Despite their 2-5 league play record, the Sun Devils will need to continue winning to stay in contention. Basheer Jihad was the top scorer in the West Virginia win with 17 points and eight rebounds. Jihad, a 6'9, 240-pound senior, is the team's top frontcourt scorer averaging 12.6 PPG and 6.1 RPG. The Sun Devils have a balanced scoring approach with five players averaging between 10 and 14 points per game. BJ Freeman leads the team with 13.2 PPG and is a top shooter with a perfect ratio of made threes. Freshman Jayden Quaintance is the top rebounder with 8.8 RPG. With a power ranking of 326, Arizona State has a 198th-ranked offense and 184th-ranked defense, with a record of 17-16. Their shooting percentages and defensive stats are in the middle of the pack nationally. Although they are currently not projected to make the NCAA tournament according to Joe Lunardi, the Sun Devils have the potential to improve their standing with continued success.

Iowa State Poised for Victory Against West Virginia Amidst Strong Defensive Performance

The upcoming matchup between West Virginia and Iowa State presents a clear choice when considering recent performance. Despite a loss to Arizona State, the Mountaineers displayed their potential with a victory over Iowa State. Excluding these outliers, Iowa State has proven to be a dominant force within the Big 12, boasting consistent wins and coverings in their last six games. On the contrary, Arizona State has struggled, only managing a 1-5 record against other opponents. Analytically, Arizona State ranks 89th in efficiency, a stark contrast to Iowa State's 6th ranking in defense. With a lineup of versatile athletes capable of guarding multiple positions, the Cyclones are poised to maintain their focus on securing a top seed. Facing upcoming challenges against Arizona and Kansas, Iowa State is expected to cover the spread in the upcoming game.
