Washington State Cougars vs Arizona State Sun Devils prediction
The Arizona State Sun Devils will be up for this game, but I'm not sure if it matters. ASU is heading in the wrong direction with March approaching, and it's not playing a lick of defense. The Washington State Cougars have not only won 8 straight games, but they've covered 8 of their last 10 games as well. Washington State is looking more and more like a team that could make a run in the big dance as this club is playing well at both ends. I'm not stepping in front of that. Give me the Cougars and the reasonable number.
