NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
12/23/2008 -
Tempe, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Arizona State Sun Devils of the Pac-10
Conference welcome the struggling Idaho State Bengals to Tempe this afternoon.
Idaho State has lost its last three games to fall to 2-8 overall. The Bengals
are fresh off a 67-57 setback to Utah State on Saturday, and they carry an 0-5
road record into today's clash.
Arizona State carries a five-game win streak into this matchup, and the most
recent victory for the squad occurred on Saturday by a 76-75 final over BYU.
That thrilling triumph improved the Sun Devils to 9-1 overall, and they are a
perfect 4-0 at home. The lone loss to date came against a Baylor squad that
has since cracked the top-25.
Arizona State owns a 2-1 lead in the all-time series with Idaho State.
Idaho State has struggled a bit at the offensive end of the floor this season,
scoring only 65.1 ppg while shooting 41.8 percent from the floor. The Bengals
are allowing 72.5 ppg to the opposition, so there is some room for improvement
defensively. Amorrow Morgan leads Idaho State with 13.6 ppg, and Matt Stucki
is providing 11.3 ppg. As for Demetrius Monroe, he is scoring 10.3 ppg on 59.7
percent shooting from the field, and Monroe also leads the club with 8.5 rpg.
In the loss to Utah State on Saturday, none of the five starters reached
double figures in scoring for Idaho State. Lucas Steijn had 15 points off the
bench for the Bengals, who connected on only 37.7 percent of their field goal
attempts, including a 3-of-13 effort from behind the arc.
There is absolutely no doubt who is the top option at the offensive end for
Arizona State, as explosive guard James Harden is one of the nation's most
gifted scorers. Through 10 games, Harden is netting 24.3 ppg on 57.5 percent
shooting from the field, and he is pulling down 6.8 rpg to go along with 41
assists and 18 steals. While the league season has yet to begin, Harden has to
be considered the favorite to win Pac-10 Player of the Year honors in 2008-09.
Jeff Pendergraph adds 12.8 ppg and 7.3 rpg for ASU, which is getting 10.6 ppg
from Ty Abbott and 10.3 ppg from Rihards Kuksiks. The Sun Devils are
generating 73.0 ppg while limiting foes to 59.4 ppg on 38.8 percent shooting
efficiency. Harden poured in 30 points in the victory over BYU, and he
finished with six rebounds, six assists and five steals as well. Pendergraph
pitched in 22 points for ASU in the narrow triumph.
