Notes

Arizona State has been reasonably efficient on offense this season, not great, but it doesn’t stick out as a sore spot on a team covered in bruises. Kansas State’s defense tells the story of the season for the Wildcats. This team needs to be good defensively, and they’re not. Generally speaking, Jerome Tang coached teams improve on defense as the season moves along. Tomorrow would be an ideal time for it to at least improve from bad to average.
