Who’s Playing
UCLA @ Arizona State
Current Records: UCLA 16-3; Arizona State 6-13
What to Know
The Arizona State Sun Devils have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the #3 UCLA Bruins and are hoping to record their first victory since Feb. 6 of 2020. ASU and the Bruins will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 10 p.m. ET this past Saturday at Desert Financial Arena. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they’ll have plenty of motivation to get the ‘W.’
The Sun Devils were within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap this past Thursday as they fell 58-53 to the Southern California Trojans. A silver lining for ASU was the play of forward Jalen Graham, who had 19 points in addition to five rebounds.
Meanwhile, UCLA came up short against the Arizona Wildcats this past Thursday, falling 76-66. Guard Tyger Campbell had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 34 minutes but putting up just nine points on 4-for-14 shooting.
ASU is the clear underdog, so they’re hoping it’s the size of the fight that determines this one. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 7-2-1 against the spread when expected to lose.
When the two teams previously met in February of last year, ASU and the Bruins were neck-and-neck, but the Sun Devils came up empty-handed after an 80-79 defeat. Maybe ASU will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
