Syracuse vs. Arizona State O/U Prediction Mar/14/18

The Orange have played decent defense all season long holding the majority of their opponents to fewer than 75 points in regulation and opponents to less than 65 in 17 games this season. The Sun Devils don't have a problem scoring with the 14th ranked scoring offense averaging 83.5 points per game. Syracuse will try to slow this game down, but Arizona State can score from anywhere, so that strategy is unlikely to work. At the other end of the floor, the Sun Devils play loose allowing eight of their last nine opponents to score 75 or higher points per game.
