easy out of conference schedule leads to 11-1 record going into conference play. i could see an 12-6 conference record. 23-7 (before the PAC-10 tourney) gets ASU into the NCAA tourney where they'll likely be a 2 or 3 seed

Harden will be a Naismith finalist and should be the front-runner for PAC10 POY. Herb WILL win Coach of the Year.

Dickie V has them #18 preseason
Katz has them #15
Rivals.com has them at #26

9/10/2008 3:52:57 PM

No he won't, I make my bet now

9/10/2008 3:54:27 PM

you're wrong....EVERYBODY is saying Harden will be a POY front runner


i guess we'll just have to see

9/10/2008 3:55:30 PM

Fuck the scum devils, maybe they would make the tourney this year if Herb actually scheduled some halfway challenging non conference matchups

9/10/2008 3:57:19 PM

The only PAC 10 team that can and will improve besides ASU is OSU, who was 0-16 in PAC 10 play. Herb wins by default.

UCLA has 12 or 13 guys that will challenge Harden for POY though, lol

OH SNAP that BYU game is in the football arena, I remember hearing about that last year

9/10/2008 3:57:43 PM

doesn't nobody show up to asu basketball? why do they have a game in their huge football stadium?

9/10/2008 4:03:34 PM

They are having an NCAA regional there, so they have to host two games or something during the year so the NCAA knows that the stadium staff can handle the games.

9/10/2008 4:06:24 PM

Quote :

"maybe they would make the tourney this year if Herb actually scheduled some halfway challenging non conference matchups"

same as last year though....

it all depends on how the OOC teams play during their own conference schedules

last year, who'd have thunk an OOC schedule including Illinois, Princeton, LSU, Coppin State, and Xavier wouldn't have been enough

IUPUI (26-7)/BYU (27-8)/SDSU (20-13)/Charlotte (20-14)/Baylor (21-11) are all quality opponents

and Providence is returning most of the starters from the team who swept UConn, beat #18 Arkansas, beat Boston College, beat Temple, beat Florida State, beat Cincinnati.....and now has 2007 National Coach of the Year, Keno Davis from Drake, as their head coach

Anyone with half a brain knew all of those teams would suck except Xavier and MAYBE Illinois

The only team in that group that will actually be good is Baylor, Herb is in for another year with a SOS in the 75-100 range which will again hurt his chances of getting to the tourney.

9/11/2008 2:12:44 PM

when, if ever, did he schedule teams like that when he was in Raleigh?

9/11/2008 2:36:58 PM

haha i emailed Herb last night after I read a page of Julius Hodge's "famous" quotes while he was at State just to let Herb know he made a lot of pack fans happy and that a lot of us still keep up with him and wished him luck. He e-mailed me back this morning at 5:30am their time.

i kinda miss the ol stiff

9/11/2008 2:55:16 PM

here we go again...

9/11/2008 3:26:38 PM

Anthony Stover, 6'10" center, began his official visit tour this week. his first stop was ASU.

he's a 4* now (scout's #11 center), but could be a 5* when they reevaluate.

it's between ASU, UofA, Washington and UCLA....definitely an uphill battle

9/12/2008 9:14:46 AM

you just have to realize what everyone has to realize, just like with the Sopranos

it's overrrr

9/12/2008 12:51:30 PM

at the rate you're going you will have typed 6 of them.

9/12/2008 12:52:57 PM

so that means the other 300 posts were by other TWWers who have interest in the ASU program

9/12/2008 1:16:21 PM

so that means the other 300 posts were by other TWWers who have interest in the ASU program get trolled by ncstatetke.

9/12/2008 1:31:37 PM

He's not trolling.

He's had a verifiable mancrush on Herb Sendek for years...

9/12/2008 1:33:15 PM

....ever since he was in the Brickyard my first day on campus. I was lost as hell and he came up to me and asked me which building I was looking for. He walked me in the direction of that hall, and there was a mancrush ever since


That, and the pizza and headband he gave me on a col, blustery campout night

9/12/2008 1:43:34 PM

this thread might be worth something if it had pictures of ASU girls.

Yeah, that's like 3 months old from the byline... Don't know if they stuck with it though

9/12/2008 4:18:54 PM

I saw it was old from the date, just didnt know if it had shown up in a thread on here since I dont surf Tdub every week. Just trying to deliver on the man's request for some A-state pics

Looks like a fun party

Fuck Herb Sendek and Fuck Chuck Amato.

They didn't do anything for us.

9/13/2008 12:00:35 AM

it's not that herb didn't do anything, it's that he didn't do anything for the last six years he was here.

9/13/2008 12:06:55 AM

burn

9/13/2008 12:25:06 AM

Yeah you are right....5 straight NCAA appearances. 3 ACC finals appearances. Sweet Sixteen. Gradual improvement. His replacement is much better.

9/13/2008 12:51:24 AM

Gradual improvement lol

9/13/2008 12:56:23 AM

lol. that's the point, there was no improvement. he had nothing coming back and took the money to scoot out. i don't hold it against the guy b/c a lot of us wanted him gone, myself included, but that's what he did. why people love him so much is beyond me.

9/13/2008 12:58:33 AM

he was a pasty white nerd, and a lot of twwers can identify with him

2011 prospect and they're already ranking him??? riiiiiiight. Undoubtedly my ass. I'll doubt until hes a senior

9/29/2008 9:21:54 PM

you're right. he's already 6' tall as a sophomore. chances are, he'll be 6'4" or 6'5" by age 18

so he'll be a combo guard
