I think this is a really bad matchup for Colorado.

-Freshman PG has to guard senior ASU guards all night.
-ASU shoots the 3 ball well (top 50 3pt %) while Colorado defends the perimeter poorly (#176 opponent 3pt %, #193 opponent pts from 3)
-ASU turnover margin +4.7, CU turnover margin -2.4
-ASU already won in Lawrence and played a close game in Tucson so not afraid of the road game.
-Still break for students so doubt student section is in play
-Sun Devils been training with those oxygen limiting masks to prep for high altitude
-ASU gets F Lawrence back tonight, he was good overseas last summer and in exhibition games before injury, and adds needed depth & height

Nothing pointing to Colorado here.
