[ad-6571516]<\/p>\n<p>When I look at the Stanford roster I see a team that should probably be better. \u00a0They have productive bigs in Dwight Powell and Josh Huestis who combine for 29 points and 17+ boards per game and the backcourt of Aaron Bright and Chasson Randle is not bad either. \u00a0This group just seems to be really inconsistent &#8211; see the .500 record.<\/p>\n<p>They seem to either play up or down to their competition and that is not a good strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Stanford is a good defensive team which I think will pay off against Arizona State. \u00a0They are also one of the better free throw shooting teams in the country which makes them a treat to watch down the stretch of close games.<\/p>\n<p>They have more momentum heading into this one and will continue to live another day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spread Pick: Stanford -3.5<br \/>\nO\/U Pick: Under<br \/>\nScore Prediction: Stanford 68 &#8211; Arizona State 60<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sun Devils vs Cardinal Pac 12 Tourney Spread\/Handicapping A couple of weeks ago Arizona State was in great shape&#8230;then they lost their last 4 games to finish just 9-9 in a far from stacked PAC 12.
