Arizona State men's basketball's losing streak is now at four games. If the Sun Devils can't snap their skid Saturday, Jan. 10, it could be a while. The next two contests after this are against top 10 teams. The good news is that this is one of the more winnable games on the schedule, as Kansas State has had similar struggles.

A fourth-quarter fight in the fourth quarter of Kansas State women's basketball's win at Houston led to an eight-point possession for Tess Heal.

Arizona State-Kansas State is set for a tip-off time of 1 P.M. MST from Desert Financial Arena. The game is set to be broadcast simultaneously on streaming service Peacock, as well as NBC Sports Network.

The Wildcats have learned some valuable lessons from their games against Big 12 championship contenders. Arizona and BYU both have huge frontcourts and bullied K-State in the paint. Their length also made it difficult for the Wildcats to make shots from beyond the arc.
