The Sun Devils struggled last year with a 14-18 overall record, but made the NCAA Tournament in three of the prior six seasons. Idaho State, meanwhile, went 14-20 last year and has had just one winning season (2020) since 2015-16. This will be ASU's first men's college basketball game as a member of the Big 12 after transitioning from the Pac-12.

Tipoff is scheduled at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Desert Financial Arena. The Sun Devils are favored by 19.5 points in the latest Arizona State vs. Idaho State odds via SportsLine consensus, and the over/under is 139.5 points.

What you need to know about Arizona State

Coming off a successful 2022-23 season, Bobby Hurley's squad took a step back last season with the worst win percentage of his tenure. The Sun Devils averaged fewer than 70 points per game for just the second time under Hurley and their 74 points given up per game were the second most since 2017-18, so the issues were on both ends of the floor.

The roster will look a good bit different this year. Hurley brought in some key transfers such as Alston Mason, BJ Freeman and Basheer Jihad to join returning veteran Adam Miller, who averaged 12 points per game last year. Perhaps the most intriguing addition is freshman Jayden Quaintance, a former Kentucky commitment and 5-star recruit who is viewed as a potential future NBA Draft pick.

What you need to know about Idaho State

Head coach Ryan Looney enters his sixth year with the program. His only winning season was the COVID-shortened 2020 campaign, though last year's team did set a new high for wins during his tenure at 14. The Bengals' 70.5 points per game also marked a new high for his tenure and their 70.1 points per game given up was the second-best mark of his time. 

Idaho State's top four scorers from last season have moved on, leaving forward Isaiah Griffin as an important piece for this season after he averaged 7.7 points and 4.9 rebounds last season. Idaho State finished last season with some momentum, winning two games in the Big Sky Tournament ,and Arizona State was just 14-18 against the spread last year, giving the Bengals a chance to stay within this large spread.
