Utah @ Arizona State

Current Records: Utah 8-9; Arizona State 5-9

What to Know

The Arizona State Sun Devils and the Utah Utes will face off in a Pac-12 clash at 4 p.m. ET Jan. 17 at Desert Financial Arena. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.

The contest between the Sun Devils and the Colorado Buffaloes this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with ASU falling 75-57 at home, it was darn close to turning into one. Guard Jay Heath put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 15 points.

Meanwhile, Utah lost to the Arizona Wildcats on the road by a decisive 82-64 margin.

Barring any buzzer beaters, ASU is expected to win a tight contest Monday. But bettors beware: they are only 1-4 against the spread when favored.

ASU was pulverized by Utah 98-59 when the two teams previously met in March of last year. Maybe the Sun Devils will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
