• The spread for the game is Colorado by 1 point.

• Point guard McKinley Wright (13.6 points per game), swingman Tyler Bey (13.0) and guard D’Shawn Schwartz (11.2) are the leading scorers for the Buffs, who are averaging 82.2 points over their last six games. Rebounding and defense, though, remain the strengths as Colorado paces the Pac-12 with an 8.0 rebound margin and ranks second in allowing 61.3 points per game. Bey is averaging a conference-most 9.8 rebounds per contest while 6-8, 265-pound Evan Battey is averaging 6.7 boards and 9.9 points per outing.

• Junior guard Remy Martin leads the team and ranks fourth in the Pac-12 with a 19.1-point scoring average. Martin has been especially hot of late, averaging 24 points over his last four outings, including a season-high 29 in Saturday’s 78-69 loss at Oregon – the Sun Devils’ 11th defeat in their last 12 meetings with the Ducks. Guard Alonzo Verge Jr. (12.8 points) and forward Romello White (10.5) also average double digits for ASU, which has struggled with its shooting, ranking 11th in the conference in field-goal percentage (42.6) and 3-point accuracy (30.4).

• With the win in the season opener in China, Colorado has won six of the last nine meetings versus Arizona State but has dropped six straight in Tempe, including an 83-61 loss a season ago.
