I predict a collapse of Sendekian proportions, including an early exit from the tourney of course

why? because they're on a 4-game win streak...all at home and only one against a good team?



on a side note: i hear Gooden is out and that Collison and Drago are going to play, but still not 100% with the flu. i don't care how they win, just as long as they win

2/12/2009 4:32:42 PM

With a UCLA win, I think the Sendek thread on packpride might just break page 50 tonight...

the same reason you created this thread, plus their remaining schedule looks somewhat difficult

In each of the last 4 games, they just flat-out dominated in every aspect.

I was actually a bit worried about Harangody because Aboya was on him and they have had some trouble against bigger guys this year. Gody had five points and a board. I think they are finally clicking and they'll only get better as the season goes on.

Of course, they could get swarmed by ASU's defense again and hit another offensive funk, but the way they've played the last 4 games, I don't see it.

And Gordon (not Gooden) practiced yesterday so he'll play, Collison and Drago as well.

Harden's damn close to a triple double.

2/12/2009 11:04:30 PM

Quadruple double if you count turnovers


shit, bad call, game should be tied, ASU up two w/ the ball and 40 seconds left...

2/12/2009 11:12:22 PM

nc state shit happened to UCLA on that technical.

2/12/2009 11:12:37 PM

and they do.

what the fuck

2/12/2009 11:13:16 PM

court-rush worthy?

2/12/2009 11:13:44 PM

bad rush, you are ranked 10

2/12/2009 11:13:57 PM

definitely not

2/12/2009 11:13:59 PM

haha what do you mean wtf? why wouldn't they?

2/12/2009 11:14:24 PM

First sweep of UCLA in some-odd years, but you're ranked yourself? I dunno

2/12/2009 11:14:35 PM

any ranked team rushing (unless its like #25 over #1) i really don't agree with.

2/12/2009 11:14:56 PM

They'll likely be ranked in the top 10 for the first time since a really long time ago.

You can't say "act like you've been there before" because they've never been there before.

Isn't ASU ranked 18th? Don't think they will be top 10

2/12/2009 11:21:38 PM

It's not like they beat some team that had lost three of it's last four.

UCLA won their last 4 games by a combined 91 points. Beat ND Saturday by 26 while holding Harangody to 5 points and a board. The same ND team that just beat #7 Louisville by 33.

2/12/2009 11:21:42 PM

applying transitive property to sports = idiotic

2/12/2009 11:23:02 PM

No shit dude, but ASU just beat the (arguably) best overall team in the last 4 years twice in 3 weeks.

2/12/2009 11:25:35 PM

Who are you trying to fool by throwing that out there?

Just like how when NCSU won the gator bowl, they beat one of the best teams ever in college football.

i'd make the argument that they aren't the best overall team in 4 years then.

mind you i know nothing about the ucla team this year.

2/12/2009 11:30:44 PM

^^NC game, FF, FF, #1 recruiting class this year.

ASU was 8-22 3 years ago. There a game back in the PAC 10 and a likely top 5 seed in the tourney. It's a little different

kinda disappointed at the turnout for the TAHSFC meeting tonight. that's OK though. we have a new officer corps. elected a new Sgt. at Arms and a new Treasurer tonight

2/13/2009 12:32:29 AM

oh fuck, the Herb thread on PrickPride is fucking hilarious right now

so many people rooting for Herb to lose

great shit

I was impressed by ND's performance tonight, but it's still obvious that they are a deeply flawed team. You can't tell me that beating a 13-10 team by 26 is really that impressive. UCLA kinda got screwed by the officiating at the end of the game, but their #1 recruiting class has not filled the void in the post they have after Love and Mbah a Moute left.

2/13/2009 12:46:08 AM

the charging call was bullshit....BUT, Collison did get away with a hook


the technical call was the right call. you can't go over the sideline and make contact with the ball. i think that's in the rulebook. it was loud, so i didn't get to hear the commentary

2/13/2009 1:02:09 AM

Only call they got screwed on at the end of the game was the charging call. However, they were getting calls the whole game. I was amazing to see an away team get so many calls during the game. Reminded me of UNC in the ACC. Guess it makes sense.

I never said it was impressive. What's impressive is that after getting their asses whooped by 26 five days ago, they gave Rick Pitino his worst loss in his coaching career. Louisville is a very legit team, many thought a FF contender.

Gotta beat UofA, but several top 15 teams have gone down already and no one's gonna jump ASU after that win.

that was a great game to watch

the North Western / Illinois game was really good too

2/13/2009 10:34:19 AM

herb is shady because he hired Phelps to get Kenny and Damon...and he hired Sean to get Archie...and hired Pera to get James


i'm sad the oasis thread is nearing autolock. it has provided hours of laughs

2/13/2009 11:08:57 AM

but to his credit...most of those guys had some legit experience
and look at how well Phelps and Miller have done under since Herb hired them

2/13/2009 11:18:14 AM

The situation with those guys were completely defendable.

The situation with Baylor hiring of Dwon Clifton, not so much.

I'm still predicting Wall to Baylor....he's just delaying to make it not-so-obvious

2/13/2009 11:35:34 AM

this could be the toughest game of the season

1) it's sandwiched between the UCLA game and the UofA game
2) USC is actually playing pretty good ball right now...and they already beat ASU once
3) there will be NOBODY in the stands since the All-Star game is in town


they're favored by 5, but then again they were favored at home against UW and WSU, and lost both of those.

USC - 76
ASU - 68

2/15/2009 12:01:33 PM

pretty low scoring game, as expected. two of the best defenses in the conference

12-12 with 8 left in the first half


Nate McMillan is there. he said he's a bigger fan of ASU than NCSU these days because of what the fans did to Herb. I can't make this stuff up.

[Edited on February 15, 2009 at 10:52 PM. Reason : 29-20 ASU at the half]

2/15/2009 10:35:36 PM

Herb should have mixed in a matchup zone here... Would have made up for some of the defensive deficiencies of guys like Evtimov and Atsur... Lots of dunks and layups for ASU right now...

2/15/2009 10:39:16 PM

totally agree. add in the quick hands of Cam and Tony. we could have had some dangerous teams

2/15/2009 10:53:59 PM

^Assuming that we lost most of our games because of defense rather than offense.

2/15/2009 10:59:15 PM

Actually, our offense was VERY efficient compared to our defense.

Pomeroy had the '06 team 40th offensively and 76th defensively. The '05 team 14th and 39th and the '04 team 3rd and 33rd respectively.

We were a much better, or I should say more efficient, offensive team than the know nothings on TWW give us credit for...

Since Herb left our offensive efficiency rankings have been (2007 and forward): 46th, 90th and 39th.
