Stanford vs. Arizona State Prediction
I’ll side with Arizona State here. I just have a hard time getting behind Stanford on the road and while Arizona State’s been struggling, this is a team that normally plays their best basketball at home and has already beaten Stanford on the road this season. I think Arizona State gets it done at home here, so give me the Sun Devils.
