Featured Game | Colorado Buffaloes vs. Arizona State Sun Devils
Why Arizona State can cover
Arizona State suffered a shocking overtime loss to Texas Southern in mid-November but has since bounced back on a four-game winning streak. The Sun Devils have victories over VCU and then-No. 20 Michigan during that stretch and blew out the Wolverines by 25 points as a 7.5-point underdog. They are outperforming their opponents this season by 74.0 to 59.7 and have covered the span in four of their last five games.
The Sun Devils clinched an 82-65 win in Colorado in February, ending a five-game losing streak in the series. Junior guard DJ Horne leads Arizona State with 13.1 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, while second guard Frankie Collins has 12.9 points, 5.1 assists shared and 4.9 rebounds. Sophomore striker Marcus Bagley is also in double figures, averaging 12.5 points per game, but is out for disciplinary reasons.
Why Colorado can cover
This is a good planning point for Colorado, as Arizona State only went out once this season, leading to their upset loss to Texas Southern. The Buffaloes have suffered all three losses in away games, so they’ll be happy to be playing at home. They’ve already had several impressive wins this season, eclipsing then-No. 11 Tennessee and then No. 24 Texas A&M two digits each.
KJ Simpson leads Colorado with 17.1 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. Tristan da Silva (12.1) and J’Vonne Hadley (10.4) are both averaging double digits, with Hadley averaging a team-high 8.0 rebounds. Arizona State has struggled in Colorado in recent seasons, covering the spread just once in its last six visits.
