The Kansas Jayhawks (10-3 SU, 7-6 ATS) host the Arizona State Sun Devils (10-3 SU, 9-4 ATS) in the teams’ first meeting as Big 12 conference members. The Sun Devils actually have been to Lawrence once before and won, but that was eight years ago and the personnel for both teams is entirely different. Visitors to Allen Fieldhouse usually don’t do very well, although Kansas is coming off a loss to West Virginia in its most recent home game. The Jayhawks bounced back in a big way last time out, hammering Central Florida by 51 points, which shows what their power is like when they’re motivated.

However, motivation has been inconsistent for the Jayhawks. Kansas is just 3-3 in its past six games, in part because the offense hasn’t gotten the job done. In all three of its defeats, Kansas has failed to break 70 points, a number that the Jayhawks haven’t fallen short of in any of their 10 victories.

  2. The under is 6-0 in Arizona State’s past six games.

Our KU vs Arizona State Sun Devils Prediction

When a team shoots the ball as well as Kansas does, a defense has to force turnovers. But the Sun Devils aren’t very good at that, as they rank near the bottom in ending defensive possessions without a shot. Kansas shoots 51.2 percent as a team, and the Jayhawks excel at getting the ball in the paint. That’s an area of weakness for the Sun Devils, which is why the line has gotten as big as it has.

However, Kansas is more built around defense than offense. The Jayhawks usually hold opponents under 70, which they have done eight times in 11 games this year. They had no problems holding Central Florida under 50 last time out, and Arizona State failed to break 60 in its loss at BYU. With both teams emphasizing defense and Kansas doing most of its offensive damage from the paint, our prediction for Arizona State vs. Kansas is Under 144.5.
