Desert Financial Arena Showdown: Arizona State Sun Devils to Face Alcorn State Braves

As the Arizona State Sun Devils prepare to host the Alcorn State Braves at Desert Financial Arena, fans can anticipate an engaging matchup. The Sun Devils have been on a commendable run, showcasing their ability to dominate on their home court. In their recent games, they have displayed a potent offense and solid defense that has led them to comfortable victories.

In their last game against Grambling State Tigers, the Sun Devils scored an impressive 80 points with a field goal percentage of 49 and were particularly effective from inside the arc with a two-point shooting percentage of 62. Their free throw accuracy was also notable at 74 percent. The team's ball movement was fluid as evidenced by their 21 assists, which contributed significantly to their scoring efficiency.

Defensively, Arizona State has been just as formidable. They limited the Tigers' scoring opportunities by keeping them at a low field goal percentage of around 27 and three-point shooting percentage below eight percent. This defensive prowess is critical in setting up fast break opportunities and controlling the tempo of the game.

The previous game against Michigan Wolverines saw similar trends where they outscored one of the top-ranked teams with an even more impressive field goal percentage of over 60 and three-point shooting accuracy hitting nearly 58 percent.
