One matchup to watch will be Arizona State's incredibly turnover-prone offense vs. a Colorado defense that hasn't been very good at creating turnovers this season. The Sun Devils shoot the ball pretty well both inside and outside the arc; it's those turnovers that have really been holding them back all season. That and the fact that they don't grab many offensive boards. If the Sun Devils can limit giveaways, they can be competitive.
