For all the points the Sun Devils score, their opponents in Pac-12 games score five more points on average per game. ASU has the worst 3-point field goal percentage defense (49.8 percent) in conference games and is just 10th in the league in defensive efficiency as a result. They play a mix of man-to-man and zone defense, and are aggressive on the perimeter. All five of their starters average at least one steal per game. Β
