The Stanford Cardinal haven't been having the kind of year they were hoping for under their new coaching staff as this veteran group stands 12-12 overall and 4-8 in the Pac 12. Stanford has been trending down losing 4 of their last 5. Stanford has been a work in progress on the offensive end all season long as this group looks to slow things into the half court ranking 108th in the nation in total defense and 282nd in scoring average. Arizona State picked up one of their better wins in Pac 12 play earlier on in the year against Stanford beating the Cardinal on the road by a final of 98-93. Arizona State was able to dictate the pace of play against the Cardinal on the road and it'll be interesting to see if the Sun Devils have similar success today in the rematch at home. ASU has been up and down throughout Pac 12 play, but the Sun Devils have shown a higher ceiling in some of their games on the road recently against USC and Oregon. Arizona State has been all about their tempo as this group ranks 49th in the nation in scoring average. We'll side with Arizona State to get the job done here at home on Saturday night.
