What to watch for when Arizona men’s basketball hosts ASU

The Arizona Wildcats are back home for the first time in two weeks when they host ASU on Saturday afternoon, their first game since losing by 16 at UCLA to fall out of first place in the Pac-12.

Third-ranked Arizona (16-2, 6-1) is coming off a swing through California that saw it play three games in five days, along the way seeing one of its best players suffer an ankle injury. ASU (6-11, 2-5) is playing its third straight road game and has lost five of six.
