Utah's Branden Carlson Poised to Lead Utes to Victory in Matchup against Arizona State

It is believed that Branden Carlson's ability to attack the paint makes him a special asset for Utah in this match-up with Arizona State. The Utes currently rank 17th in the nation for assists per game and 17th in field goal percentage, signalling their offensively sound capabilities. Meanwhile, Arizona State's defensive prowess is countered by their sub-par offensive record. Consequently, Utah may take the victory and thus hand Arizona State their first conference loss this season. It should also be noted that, although Arizona State is undefeated at home in their last six games, they have been largely unsuccessful when listed as the underdog in their last four home games.
