The Sun Devils ruled out the same players that have been held out of previous games.
The Sun Devils are coming off of a rough four-week stretch of the season that culminated in curious comments from head coach Bobby Hurley following a loss to West Virginia last Wednesday, although the team rebounded with an 82-68 win over Cincinnati on Saturday.
The Knights have been one of the pleasant surprises in the Big 12 during the 2025-26 season, which has largely been highlighted by a roster that has either nine or 10 regularly available rotation players - Hurley hasn't been awarded the same fortune on his end, as the Sun Devils have been down to a constricted eight-man lineup for several games at this point.Jan 3, 2026; Tempe, Arizona, USA; Arizona State Sun Devils forward Allen Mukeba , guard Maurice Odum and forward Marcus Adams Jr. against the Colorado Buffaloes at Desert Financial Arena.

The Georgia Southern transfer went into the season figuring to be a key guard in the rotation, but has been dealing with an elbow ailment since before the season opener on November 4. Wallace was set to be one of the only true "wings" on the 2025-26 team, but his season ended before it began - as a brutal lower leg injury suffered in an exhibition against Texas A&M cost the entire campaign. Marcus Adams Jr. is set to miss his seventh consecutive game on Tuesday. The redshirt sophomore last played in the 95-89 loss to Colorado on January 3, with Hurley acknowledging that his timetable has shifted and there's no certainty as to when his return will be. For what it's worth, Adams did suffer a lower-leg injury at some point in September, which did put him behind the rest of the team from a preparation perspective. The hope is that Adams will be able to return at some point in Big 12 play. Salane has already been confirmed to redshirt this season, while the same might be assumed for McCoy and Polk as well. Arizona State and UCF are slated to tip-off shortly after 5 P.M. MST on Tuesday, with the game being broadcast on ESPN+.
