Three weeks ago it may have looked like an Arizona State basketball win over UCLA was a slam dunk, or as close to it as one could get in the Pac-12. Not so any more.
The teams will square off at 9 p.m. Thursday night at Desert Financial Arena in a crucial Pac-12 contest with the standings a jumble and no team able to take control.
ASU (13-8, 4-4), which will also host USC on Saturday, has six of its last 10 regular season games at home where it is 8-2 this season and 21-5 over the last two.
