Why Bettors Should Target Arizona State Unders
By Joe Summers
Arizona State Betting Trend
Arizona State has been an under bettor’s dream this season. 12 of the Sun Devils’ 16 games have gone under the total and I expect that trend to continue as the season progresses.
If we’re looking for an advantage when betting on the under, we’re looking for a team that has a bad offense, a good defense, a low free-throw rate and a slow pace of play. Thankfully, Arizona State checks every box.
Bart Torvik has the Sun Devils as the 278th-best 2-point shooting and 338th-best 3-point shooting team in the nation. They’re ranked 83rd in offensive turnover rate, however, so they’re able to prevent turnovers and fast-break points for the opponent while struggling to score themselves.
The Sun Devils are good on the other end of the court, ranking 64th in adjusted defensive efficiency behind the 34th-best 2-point shooting defense. So we have a bad offense and good defense in hand, check and check.
What about free throws? With the 340th-ranked offensive free throw rate, the Arizona State offense does not generate freebies. And with the 140th-best defensive turnover percentage, they aren’t creating many fast break opportunities either.
Finally, the Sun Devils do not play at a fast pace. They’re 148th nationally in adjusted tempo, so they’re content to go through their offensive sets and play out the shot clock.
Behind a bad offense, good defense, a low free-throw rate, and a slow pace of play, Arizona State presents under bettors fantastic value every time they play.
