Result:
LOSS

These teams have faced each other twice before this year and Arizona St. has won both match ups (home and away) SU and ATS; winning both by an average of 4.5ppg. Arizona St. was able to win both of these games without Oregon St. having any key injuries; not the case in today's match up. Oregon St. will be without two of their forwards (DeWitz and Hampton) and their guard Hurd. DeWitz averaged about 30min per game and clearly played a large role on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. That aside, Arizona St still averaged more ppg, got more rebounds and turned the ball over less this season. Oregon St. had a slightly deeper bench, but with all these injuries they will find themselves behind the 8-ball if any of their starters get into foul trouble. Look for Arizona St. to keep this game as fast paced as they can, looking to get to the line and put Oregon St in foul trouble as well as get them tired by the end of the game. Take Arizona St. giving the small number in this game for two stars.
