Can the Utah Utes Overcome the Arizona State Sun Devils at Desert Financial Arena?

As the Utah Utes prepare to face off against the Arizona State Sun Devils, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum. The Utes have shown a strong performance in their past games, with a notable victory over Weber State where they dominated with an 89-36 scoreline, showcasing a potent offense and solid defense. Their field goal percentage stood at an impressive 52 percent, and they excelled beyond the arc with a 40 percent success rate from three-point range.

The team's ability to distribute the ball was evident as they racked up 24 assists against Weber State, indicating a well-coordinated offensive strategy. However, in their subsequent game against Colorado Buffaloes, despite scoring consistently across quarters and securing points in paint (40), turnovers were an issue as they recorded 20 – which is something they will need to tighten up against ASU.

Utah's last outing saw them put up an impressive display of shooting efficiency with a field goal percentage of 56 percent and three-point shooting at 47 percent against Southern Utah Thunderbirds. They also demonstrated defensive prowess by limiting turnovers to just 13 while forcing more from their opponents.

The upcoming game is set for January 6th at Desert Financial Arena – home court for ASU – which could play into the host's advantage. Fans can catch all the action on Pac-12 Network and witness whether Utah can continue its trend of high-scoring games and maintain its assist-to-turnover ratio that has been pivotal in recent wins.

With both teams playing under Mountain Time Zone conditions, there should be no significant time adjustment for players. The key question remains: Can Utah capitalize on its offensive strengths while shoring up its defense to secure another win on enemy territory?
