What to Know

The Washington State Cougars have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. The Cougars and the Arizona State Sun Devils will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 8 p.m. ET Thursday at Desert Financial Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with Washington State winning the first 51-29 on the road and ASU taking the second 58-55.

Washington State was able to grind out a solid win over the USC Trojans on Sunday, winning 81-71. Washington State got double-digit scores from five players: forward DJ Rodman (16), guard Jabe Mullins (16), guard Justin Powell (15), guard TJ Bamba (14), and forward Mouhamed Gueye (12).

Meanwhile, ASU entered their contest against the Arizona Wildcats on Saturday without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. The Sun Devils took a 69-60 hit to the loss column. Guard Frankie Collins (12 points) was the top scorer for ASU.

The Cougars are expected to lose this next one by 5. The smart bettors have been the ones to keep their money on Washington State's opponents whenever they hit the road.
