Arizona State vs. TCU Key Player to Watch

Maurice Odum, G - Arizona State Sun Devils

Maurice Odum is leading Arizona State in both points per game (17.1) and assists per game (5.8). He is coming off a subpar performance against Baylor, putting up just 12 points while shooting 36.4% from the field. If the Sun Devils want to get hot late in the season, they need Odum to start playing more consistently.

Arizona State vs. TCU Prediction and Pick

While I understand why TCU is favored, especially on its home court, I don't think they're deserving of being 7.5-point favorites. Arizona State ranks similarly to the Horned Frogs in a lot of metrics, and they even outrank them in a few, including coming in at 179th in effective field goal percentage, compared to TCU, which comes in at 196th.

The Sun Devils are also one of the few teams that have shot better when playing on the road this season. Their effective field goal percentage has improved from 50.6% at home to 52.1% when playing on the road.

For that reason, I feel comfortable taking the points with Arizona State.

Pick: Arizona State +7.5 (-118)
