Last time ASU basketball faced the Cougars was back in January and won with a substantial lead, but this was coming off of a three-game win streak and fresh legs in the game. Fatigue has been detrimental to the team in the second half of their season and could pose a problem in this matchup.
The Cougars are coming off a solid win against Utah with an impressive performance in working the perimeter on offense. The team shot roughly 58 percent from the three point line, and sank over half of their free throws. Though ASU has one of the strongest three-point defenses in the conference, fouls leading to free throws could give Wazzou the upper hand.
