The total on this game indicates it will be a higher scoring game which benefits the Sun Devils. Remy Martin will have the upper hand in the point guard battle which should lead him to another 20 point game. ASU tends to win when Remy plays well. The Bookie is rolling with the Arizona State Sun Devils to win this game in high scoring fashion.
