Analyzing past performances, it's clear that the Sun Devils have shown a mixed bag of results. In their last game against Utah Utes, they emerged victorious with an 85-77 scoreline. Their offense was firing on all cylinders, shooting 46 percent from the field and an impressive 42 percent from beyond the arc. They also dominated in fast-break points with 16 and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 21 points.

However, consistency has been a concern as evidenced by their performance against Colorado Buffaloes where they fell short at 70-82. Despite maintaining a decent field goal percentage of 44 and free throw percentage of 64, they struggled from three-point range with only a 32 percent success rate.

The game prior to that saw them losing to California Golden Bears with a score of 66-81 at home. The Sun Devils struggled offensively in this matchup, shooting just 39 percent from the field and an even lower three-point percentage at 33.

Despite these ups and downs, there are positives for Arizona State fans to hold onto. The team has demonstrated resilience in rebounding and defensive plays which could be pivotal in controlling Washington State's offense.
