NCAA Basketball action resumes today when the Arizona State welcome the 49ers in what should be an entertaining match at the Wells Fargo Arena. If you plan to watch Arizona State vs Long Beach State live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Sun Devils vs 49ers preview below.
Arizona State Sun Devils vs Long Beach State 49ers
The Sun Devils go into this one with a 56% winning record, and naturally as favorites over the Long Beach State 49ers. Arizona State will be sure to keep an eye on the current Long Beach State streak (Lost 3), and take necessary precautions. The Sun Devils are averaging 65 ppg this season (good for number 261 in the NCAA), but not as good as the 49ers’s 73.1 ppg average in the 2010-2011 NCAA season.
Playing on the road, the 49ers will need to play to their strengths and their 723 field goals attempted is their strongest statistical attribute (and good for number 15 in the whole NCAA Division 1). The Long Beach State are 5-7 this season overall (0-0 in the Big West Conference) and today will hope to improve their 3 – 5 record away from Walter Pyramid.
Arizona State have been dominating their opponents this season in the 3 pointers attempted departement. Their 199 3 pointers attempted is the number 125 best among the 350 colleges in the NCAA D1, and that will be an area that the Long Beach State coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen Arizona State’s 2 – 1 home record. After 9 games, the Sun Devils hopeful will be counting for a victory to improve their standing in the Pacific 10 Conference.
