Desert Financial Arena Showdown: Arizona State Sun Devils vs SMU Mustangs

As the Arizona State Sun Devils prepare to host the SMU Mustangs at Desert Financial Arena, fans can anticipate an exciting clash on the hardwood. The Sun Devils have been showcasing a strong performance trend, with their recent games indicating a team in good form.

In their last game against the Dons, the Sun Devils secured a solid victory with 72 points to 61. They demonstrated efficiency on both ends of the court, with a field goal percentage of 47 and converting over half of their two-point attempts. Their fast break execution was particularly impressive, contributing 22 points to their total score.

Prior to that matchup, they faced off against the Bearkats and came out on top once again with an even more commanding scoreline of 78 to 61. The team's offensive prowess was evident as they shot over half of their attempts from inside the arc and maintained a field goal percentage above 50 percent. Their ability to convert turnovers into points was also notable, scoring 18 points off turnovers.

Against the Commodores earlier in November, Arizona State continued its winning ways by putting up an impressive tally of 82 points against Vanderbilt's defense while limiting them to just 67. The three-point shooting was particularly effective in this game as they hit nearly half of their long-range shots.

The trends suggest that Arizona State is capitalizing on fast breaks and effectively managing turnovers which could be pivotal against SMU. Additionally, maintaining high shooting percentages has been key for them; if this continues at Desert Financial Arena—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere—it could provide just enough edge for another home victory.

Fans can catch all the action live from Tempe at Desert Financial Arena on December 7th at Fox Sports 1 channel number 219 or attend in person for what promises to be an enthralling encounter between these two teams.
