What to Watch for

St. Johns and Arizona State have similar paths to the tournament. Both had extremely good nonconference schedule records, with Arizona State having a better strength of schedule. However, down the stretch in conference the teams struggled while having impressive wins. St. John’s beat Marquette twice and Villanova. Arizona State has wins over Kansas and Washington.

Arizona State started out with a ton of hype. Coming from literally nowhere last season, rattling off wins versus Kansas and starting nonconference in an explosive fashion, the team successfully went to the tournament.
