What to Know
The Oregon Ducks lost both of their matches to the Arizona State Sun Devils last season on scores of 67-69 and 57-81, so they’re hoping to turn the tables this season. Oregon and ASU will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 9 p.m. ET Thursday at Matthew Knight Arena. Both teams come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous games.
The Ducks were able to grind out a solid win over the Utah Utes on Saturday, winning 70-60. Oregon’s center N’Faly Dante was one of the most active players for the squad, dropping a double-double on 17 points and 12 boards.
Meanwhile, the Sun Devils beat the Washington Huskies 73-65 on Sunday. ASU got double-digit scores from four players: guard Devan Cambridge (18), guard Jamiya Neal (14), guard DJ Horne (12), and guard Frankie Collins (10).
Oregon is the favorite in this one, with an expected 4-point margin of victory. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with Oregon, who are 8-7 against the spread.
The Ducks are now 9-7 while ASU sits at 13-3. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Oregon ranks 19th in college basketball when it comes to blocked shots per game, with 5.3 on average. The Sun Devils are not quite as good, but they are no chumps, either: they come into the game boasting the 25th most blocked shots per game in college basketball at 5.1. Points in the paint might be hard to come by.
