Their offensive efforts were balanced with an average of approximately 25 field goals made per game, including seven from beyond the arc and over 17 from two-point range. This demonstrates a well-rounded attack that can penetrate defenses both inside and out.


Defensively, Utah has shown they can disrupt their opponents' flow by averaging just over four blocks and five steals per contest. However, ball security will be crucial as they averaged nearly 12 turnovers last season; minimizing these will be key against an aggressive Sun Devils squad.
