Arizona State has had a solid start to the season, securing wins against Idaho State and Santa Clara, which showcases their ability to handle mid-tier competition. Their near victory against Gonzaga, the top team in the nation, highlights their potential and competitiveness against elite programs. However, their offensive performance has been inconsistent, especially noted in the close win over Grand Canyon and the high-scoring battle against Cal Poly. Upcoming games against New Mexico and Florida will be crucial—winning those would solidify their tournament resume, while losses could jeopardize their standing. Additionally, matchups against teams like Baylor and Kansas will provide further opportunities to bolster their case as a legitimate contender, but inconsistency in offense could pose a risk in these higher-stakes games.
