Arizona State vs UCLA Game Preview and Analysis
Arizona State visits UCLA late Wednesday night in one of the more intriguing nonconference games on the West Coast slate. UCLA has been nearly automatic at Pauley Pavilion this season, entering the matchup unbeaten at home, while Arizona State arrives with a strong 9-2 record that has kept the Sun Devils in the national conversation.
From a stylistic standpoint, the key question is whether Arizona State can handle UCLA’s physicality for a full 40 minutes without losing the possession battle. The Sun Devils have shown enough offensive competence to keep totals elevated in several games this season, but UCLA’s profile suggests they can score in bunches at home when they are getting clean looks and living at the free-throw line.
With UCLA’s consistent home performance and Arizona State’s depth concerns, I expect the Bruins to create separation across the middle portion of the game and maintain control late.
