These two teams are certainly trending in opposite directions. The Sun Devils won seven of their final eight games of the regular season, while the Cardinal lost seven of their final eight games. Stanford has really struggled offensively, averaging just 54.6 points per game in their last five overall.



ASU’s defense was more than solid in the last few games and should win this one handily.
The Sun Devils will stay hot while the Cardinal will not, which is why ASU is the pick to win and cover in the first round of the Pac 12 tournament.
