Arizona is without Brandon Ashley, one of their most talented players. He is a versatile, athletic 6-foot-10 forward that can score with his back to the basket or step out on the perimeter and knock down a jumper. He averages 12.0 points and 6.0 boards and shoots 52.8% from the field and 39.3% from three.

He formed part of perhaps the best frontline in the nation and opened up the floor. Zona is 1-5 their last six as the oddsmakers caught up to them. Now they are trying to mentally regroup, no longer No. 1 and without a key cog.

ASU is 13-1 straight up at home. They host an Arizona team that only once in their last four has won by more than two.
