_ **Tip-off:** _ Saturday, 4pm in Henderson, NV (neutral site) _ **TV:** _ TNT/TruTV _ **Line:** _ Torvik: Broncos -2.9, 61% win probability; ESPN: No line, Broncos 56.4% win probability _ **Torvik:** _ Broncos #43, Arizona State #70 (Broncos #30, ASU #75 when removing preseason weighting) **Sun Devils** Do you remember Maurice “Moe” Odum? You should. This will mark that sixth time that Mr. Odum has played against SCU, though across three different schools. He was one of the two driving engines in Pepperdine’s WCC Tournament run last season that felled both Oregon State and Santa Clara in a remarkable Waves sprint the semis–ironically, both Odum (Pacific) and Todorovic (USF) having started at other WCC schools. Odum will get his last shot at the Broncos on Saturday. Can SCU contain him? Now Odum is only 1-4 against the Broncos. But that was as the dynamic and explosive PG for otherwise bad teams. Now he is the dynamic and explosive PG for a good, or at least pretty good, team. ASU has done fairly well against a strong schedule so far. Even their two losses (Gonzaga and USC) were by respectable margins and showed fight to the end. Add in a Hurley on the sideline, and you’ve got some popcorn-worthy viewing coming on TNT. **(Likely) Starters and Top Bench:** | Height + Position | Name | Torvik Adj. Efficiency | PPG | Other Stats | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 6-2 PG | Moe Odum | 4.0 | 17.2 | 5.9 asts; 1.5 stls; **43.5% from 3P** | | 6-4 Guard | Bryce Ford | 1.7 | 9.1 | 43.9% from 3P | | 6-11 Wing | Andrija Grbovic | 1.1 | 5.8 | 3.2 rebs | | 6-11 Forward | Santiago Trouet | 1.8 | 7.8 | 6.3 rebs | | 7-1 Center | Massamba Diop | 3.7 | 12.9 | 4.9 rebs; 1.5 blks | | 6-8 Wing | Allen Mukeba | 1.4 | 6.7 | 3.4 rebs | | 6-3 Guard | Anthony Johnson | 2.4 | 13.3 | 38.9% from 3P | ASU trots out a _huge_ lineup. Their three front court players are all 6-11+, though Grbovic prefers to play on the outside in spite of his size. A potential weak point is that ASU is a fairly bad FT-shooting team. Indeed, Odum’s 90% average raises their floor, but the next two best FT shooters only crack a tiny bit above 70%. The Broncos need to control their fouls generally but, as long as they don’t foul Odum, these Sun Devils will not make the Broncos pay quite as high of a price. The Sun Devils are decent but not spectacular at either end. The inside-out game between Odum and Diop is their main weapon with Diop being almost as deadly close to the hoop as Odum is, well, anywhere. They shoot the three very well–again, Odum especially–and their height makes it difficult to shoot the three over Hurley’s squad. For the Broncos, defense will be key. If they thought keeping Albury away from the hoop was tough, just wait until they get a load of Odum’s speed and shiftiness. ASU doesn’t rebound particularly well for their size, nor are they getting lots of offense on the fast break. But Santa Clara better have cleaned up the transition defense if the Broncos want to get a win. If Ensminger is back and even 90%, I like Santa Clara in this matchup for a bounce back game. But if Jake is still out or the Broncos leave their determination in the South Bay, ASU will happily take advantage. **Prediction:** 74-68 Santa Clara. Mahi recovers from a bad game with 17 points and 8 boards. ---

This is good. I am going to start including a section on Bronco trends to look out for also. ---

We’ve seen Trouet as well, was at USD last season. Thin finesse guy, also plays a lot on the perimeter a la Johnny O’Neil. See chatter from Buckets and I in the Net Ranking thread re: stopping Odum. Will be a heavy lift, none of our guards are particularly great defenders especially on ball trying to keep quick guards in front of them. Odum and ASU’s coaching staff were probably ecstatic watching New Mexico tape given our inability to stay in front of anyone. Diop and their frontcourt length worry me as well, could put foul pressure on Bukky and Graves. Have to make a few 3’s, somehow slow down Odum, and battle on the boards as we generally have. ---

Hey everyone, I just wrapped up an Excel file I created to automatically make boards for covering games, and I am pretty excited about it, so I thought I’d share for both teams before todays game. Funny that Odum literally leads in basically everything but rebounding and blocks for them this year. Also, if you take a look at page 2 on the right for each, ASU is a very poor rebounding team, and that could be something we can really take advantage of in this one. They are also excellent at getting to the FT line, so once again, we can most likely expect that to be an issue for SCU despite ASU’s FT percentage not being great. Anyways, hope you guys find this interesting and lmk if you would want me to post more of these in the future because I will have them for basically every game. ![Screen Shot 2025-12-13 at 08.16.12](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/wakeupswig/original/2X/9/9ca1ac6e27bd892fad3ca5af4e5d7287178da1fa.png) ![Screen Shot 2025-12-13 at 08.16.20](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/wakeupswig/original/2X/d/df045e5a24fef30b6883ba1fa8b4cf4a644c70cb.png) ![Screen Shot 2025-12-13 at 08.16.26](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/wakeupswig/original/2X/f/f69a9ef674bb848fbcfa2b3cffc6a10bdf9a16ae.png) ![Screen Shot 2025-12-13 at 08.17.26](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/wakeupswig/original/2X/1/147070464f4c479d775c91942a6c4cb8ccf3e617.png) ![Screen Shot 2025-12-13 at 08.17.33](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/wakeupswig/original/2X/b/b310768d32612251e46824cdc13c7194625bf07a.png) ![Screen Shot 2025-12-13 at 08.17.40](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/wakeupswig/original/2X/7/7907dc49fba0e70f7d031820c980c97ae3445f53.png) ---

Jake too. Having both available would be big. It’s hard to expect too much from either one in their first games back from injury–obviously much more so Normand who hasn’t played in almost a year–but huge to have them as options. If Normand can just be a catch and shoot threat in a few spot minutes to start, that alone would be good for this sometimes ice cold shooting squad. ---

At the ASU game . Very nice arena . Only a couple years old - home of the NHL silver knights , minor league team of Golden Knights . Seems like a good possibility for WCC tourney in 2027 . 5500 seats . But it’s 25 min from strip in Henderson. ![IMG_6252](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/wakeupswig/original/2X/6/6485951aff16aa8391eed2e61825a0a51cf4a196.jpeg) ![IMG_6251](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/wakeupswig/original/2X/d/de5b78fe8c5bd32c22070fbb1b6dab33048956d0.jpeg) ![IMG_6250](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/wakeupswig/original/2X/8/8bf66032ff2fb1d75e48c0ed757b0bab68b098ea.jpeg) ---

Offensively, tremendous first half, but defensively, quite possibly our worst half including New Mexico. Broncos need more from Knapper too. Great backdoor cut to end the half and welcome back Jake!! ---

Yep, we’re moving the ball well, 3 pt shots are falling and we’re making our FT’s….that’s covering up problems elsewhere. Defense has been a nonexistent, no answer for Odom, and D transition not great. [Next page](https://forum.wakeupswig.com/t/ooc-game-11-arizona-state-henderson-nv/1042.md?page=2)
