Line: Arizona -12 Total: 147

MORE: College hoops live odds | ATS standings

Trends: ASU 14-12 SU, 12-12-1 ATS, 15-10 O/U. Arizona 21-5 SU, 14-12 ATS, 17-9 O/U.

KenPom efficiency ratings: ASU 79 (overall), 80 (offense), 81 (defense). Arizona 15, 16, 37

Effective FG percentage: ASU 49.1, Arizona 54.2 EFG% against: ASU 51.1, Arizona 46.7

Pick: Arizona is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings between these two teams. The Wildcats covered three straight before dropping their last two ATS. They're 8-7 ATS at home this year.

Before going UNDER in its last three, Arizona State had played eight straight OVERs. These two have been strong on the OVER all year, and the Sun Devils have hit the OVER 8 of 12 games as an underdog. At home, they're split.

Per Sports Insights, 93 percent of bettors are backing the OVER. That's a scary thought despite favorable trends in that direction. When these two teams met in early January, the total was 139. We'll offer a lean on Arizona laying double digits.
