Arizona State vs Stanford Game Preview, Pac-12 Tournament
Why Arizona State Will Win
The Sun Devils have finally started to win.
They played well throughout the year – especially on the defensive side – but there wasn’t any payoff in loss after loss. That all changed around the middle of February, and now it comes into the Pac-12 Tournament on a 7-1 run.

This isn’t going to be anything remotely pretty, but it’ll look just fine for an Arizona State defense that should take over early on.
