The Arizona State Sun Devils are on a three-game winning streak since getting the stuffing knocked out of them on Thanksgiving, and they look to keep the momentum rolling on Wednesday against SMU in Tempe, Ariz. The Sun Devils (5-2), who are 4-0 at home this season, have defeated Vanderbilt, Sam Houston and San Francisco by double digits after a 77-49 loss to BYU at Las Vegas. The conquests of Sam Houston and San Francisco were at home. Arizona State avenged last year's 97-60 loss at San Francisco with a 72-61 win over the Dons on Sunday. SMU (6-3) is coming off a 90-47 win over visiting Texas A&M-Commerce on Sunday. The Mustangs will play their first true road game against the Sun Devils. SMU is 0-5 against Arizona State, including last year's 75-57 loss at home. In the win over Texas A&M-Commerce, Keon Ambrose-Hylton had a career-high 19 points while making all nine shots from the field. Chuck Harris scored 10 points and chipped in seven assists. B.J. Edwards added seven points and seven assists, among the team's 26 assists on 36 field goals. The Mustangs shot 69.2 percent from the field and won the rebounding battle 36-16. We think SMU will show up with revenge from last year's blowout against ASU. Granted not all these kids were on the team last season, but that kind of loss carries over with the coaching staff, boosters, and juniors and seniors. Let's roll with SMU here.
