Arizona State struggled last season in a big way. They finished last in the Pac-12 and were beset by injuries, but they remain a young team with no identity. Their free throw shooting was atrocious as they not only attempted more than 150 fewer than any Pac-12 team, they shot a dismal 62.8%. They will feature a young team again with no seniors on the roster for the first time in over 55 years. New Mexico has made tremendous strides under Steve Alford, especially on the road. Before Alford's arrival this team was 28-77 on the road, but since he took over they are 30-23. They have better talent and a better system for sure. Alford has benefited from a pair of UCLA defections that are high-octane players, and even a former Arizona State player in Demetrius Walker a top 25 shooting guard is now eligible. Overall the Lobos have the edge in experience, talent and have learned how to play on the road. Take New Mexico in this one.
