The current betting odds have Arizona State listed as a 12.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Arizona State has been good this year with their 15-7 record overall and they have been getting by in the PAC-12 with a 6-5 conference record too. They have been really good at home though with their 8-3 home record but they haven't been good in their games lately. They hit a big snag with 4 losses in a row now but all of their losses have been coming against good teams in the PAC-12, they have just been folding at the wrong time in the season. They have a great opportunity to bounce back on their home court here though with a very bad team coming into town. Oregon State has been terrible this year with a losing 9-13 record overall and they have struggled a lot in their conference play with a 3-8 record in conference games. They have also been terrible in their road games with a 1-6 road record this season. They managed to get a win in their last game over another bad team in the PAC-12 but Arizona State is still a really good team that hasn't been playing well lately and they are going to be ripe for a big bounce back here on their home court. The best way to place a bet here is on Arizona State to cover the spread in this game.

“With the amount of new guys, with the amount of freshmen, we knew it was going to take time. We knew it was going to be a work in progress and we're still in the middle of that process. So, we're staying grounded, we know we have a long way to go, but the fact that we're buying in and being active defensively gives us hope." - Wayne Tinkle on how he has been approaching this season. 

“He has not reached that mark the last couple of games, and following the game (Thursday against Washington) he was highly frustrated and it resulted in the disciplinary action. He and I have had really good conversations over the last couple of days and he was in practice yesterday. It’s a one-off and he’ll be back in the lineup on Thursday night.” - Bobby Hurley on D.J. Horne after his team’s loss against WSU in their last game.
