Arizona State vs BYU

BYU’s seven-game win streak and 13-1 start, led by AJ Dybantsa 23.1 ppg, Richie Saunders 18.2 ppg and Robert Wright III 16.3 ppg, 5.5 apg, runs straight into an Arizona State team that’s 9-5, on a two-game skid, and still managing backcourt injuries to Adante’ Holiman and season-ending loss of Vijay Wallace while Noah Meeusen has only recently rejoined the rotation. espn.com BYU is pouring in 87.1 points per game and playing some of the most efficient offense in the country, and the Cougars already handled last year’s matchup 91-81 in Tempe behind 26 points from Saunders, now shifting to the even tougher environment of the Marriott Center at altitude. espn.com Even with BYU’s own depth hit by season-ending injuries to Brody Kozlowski, Nate Pickens and Dawson Baker, Kevin Young’s shortened but high-end rotation still holds a clear talent and continuity edge at home, making BYU -3300 the pick on the moneyline with a B grade due to extremely high win probability but minimal monetary upside. ksl.com Odds and availability are subject to change.

Arizona State’s tendency toward track-meet games — scoring 80.6 points per night while allowing 90 to UCLA and 78 at home to Oregon State in its last two outings — now collides with a BYU attack that averages 87.1 points and features three perimeter scorers over 16 points per game. espn.com BYU has repeatedly cracked 90 at home in December 100 vs UC Riverside, 93 vs Pacific, 109 vs Eastern Washington and combined with ASU for 172 total points in last season’s 91-81 Cougar win, suggesting that tempo and shot-making from Dybantsa, Saunders and Wright against a Sun Devils defense still ironing out coverages could sustain a very high possession count. espn.com With BYU’s short-handed bench still pushing pace despite the losses of Baker and Pickens and ASU’s guard duo of Maurice Moe Odum and Anthony Johnson consistently living at the free-throw line, the ingredients favor another offensive showcase, so Over 164.5 -118 gets a B- grade as a solid but high-variance position at an already-inflated total. heraldextra.com Odds and availability are subject to change.

AJ Dybantsa’s 23.1 points per game and BYU’s 87.1-ppg offense have fueled a string of home blowouts — wins by 31 over Cal Baptist, 47 over UC Riverside, 36 over Pacific and 28 over Eastern Washington — while Arizona State arrives in Provo off back-to-back losses and still stretched thin in the backcourt because Holiman and Wallace remain sidelined. Hurley is riding Odum and Johnson heavy minutes to keep the offense afloat, but that leaves his defense vulnerable against BYU’s relentless spacing and interior physicality from Keba Keita on the glass, particularly in the Marriott Center environment where the Cougars have been front-running all month. Given that BYU already beat ASU by 10 on the road last season and now enters with a hotter offense, cleaner rotation and superior form, laying -18.5 -110 is a high-ceiling but swingy choice that earns just a C+ grade, banking on another full-throttle Cougar avalanche instead of a late backdoor cover for the Sun Devils.
