Parents brought back an Arizona State hat after house shopping in Phoenix last week. I'm sportin' it now.

nice defense


to everyone watching this who hasn't watched an ASU game yet this season:


enjoy and reminisce. appreciate the back door looks. remember the cuts. admire the matchup zone

3/18/2008 10:24:25 PM

let me guess

its still the first half?

but they're playing with a rank beside their name, that means they're supposed to lose..

3/18/2008 10:37:01 PM

good start

30-11 with 5 left in first half

3/18/2008 10:37:44 PM

yall see that put back slam on his own missed three pointer by the alabama st guy?

3/18/2008 11:30:40 PM

pretty nasty

3/18/2008 11:33:09 PM

herb's trying to lose this

3/18/2008 11:48:09 PM

He could feel us watchin' him..... Wonder if there are more people watching the ASU-Arizona baseball game rather than this game? Don't answer that

V Yeah, huge deal down there in the Valley. Suprised this many people showed up for the game.

OMG, Arizona State played Arizona tonight in baseball????

no wonder there's a bad turnout

Devils win 64-53. Face So. Illinois later this week. And BTW everyone that attended the baseball game made a better move. ASU stays #1 in baseball and they can come support Herb in the next game.

3/19/2008 12:02:20 AM

well at least they won their first round game


more than the Wildcats will be able to say

3/19/2008 12:10:38 AM

This season was the 4th time in 27 years that the Devils won 20 games... That missed 3 pointer-turned dunk was sick. Are they home or away vs. SIU?

3/19/2008 9:07:55 AM

home until NYC

3/19/2008 10:30:21 AM

Salukis tonight at midnight ET

ESPN2

their star PG is out for the season, so that'll make it a little easier, but they still have a pretty nasty PF and C. we'll see if Pendergraph can stay out of foul trouble and if Boateng can get some more quality minutes

3/20/2008 9:28:31 AM

game is already over


once again, Herb can't get past the sweet 16

3/20/2008 11:16:48 PM

hhahaha, what is the score?

3/20/2008 11:20:52 PM

cut it back to 2 points

9 left in the first half


never mind, they're winning

[Edited on March 20, 2008 at 11:30 PM. Reason : m]

3/20/2008 11:30:02 PM

Turned into an easy win...the fans were pumped that is what little where actually there.

GG Herb.

Up next is probably Florida that should be fun.

3/21/2008 1:25:27 AM

21 wins

next game Tuesday night vs. winner of UF/Creighton

Sun Devils vs. two-time defending national champs

tonight, ESPN, 9pm

winner goes to the Garden to face winner of Syracuse/UMass

3/25/2008 1:38:20 PM

L

3/25/2008 1:39:39 PM

more than likely

should be a great turnout though (8000-10000)


i'm not an all-around ASU fan, rather just a bball fan....but it seems like a great year for the athletics department. Baseball is currently #1, softball is #1, track won the NCAAs, football had a 10-win season, womens bball faces Duke tonight in round of 32, mens basketball was in the top-25 and gained a lot of national press this season

things are pretty good in Tempe

3/25/2008 1:44:00 PM

why dont you move out there

but leave your awesome thread.

3/25/2008 1:44:58 PM

nah. i'd be broke after one week living out there

3/25/2008 1:55:04 PM

Herb and Billy Donovan go way back, 20+ years...

I tuned into their NIT game last week and couldn't help but notice that Herbie had pulled that same shit that he did at NCSU where he took every ounce of color off of the Arizona State floor and had no names on the back of the jerseys. Leave it to Mr. Carnegie Mellon to suck the fun and flash out of college basketball. He's damn good at that, feasting on cupcakes, and giving the most God awful analogies.

3/25/2008 7:24:08 PM

Yeah! Fun is seeing names on the back of jerseys!!! And color on the floor!!!

3/25/2008 7:43:08 PM

that guy can't be serious.

3/25/2008 7:50:15 PM

^^You damn right it is. Those things mean a lot to players and for the parents, especially international ones (whom herb had a few of) to see so that they can be proud. And the floor is a big piece of tradition and adds a lot otherwise they wouldn't have bothered selling the damn thing when we moved out in 99!

3/25/2008 8:00:08 PM

yeah !!

3/25/2008 8:01:08 PM

he does have a point. bob knight refused to put the names on the back of jerseys and he only won more games then anyone else.

3/25/2008 8:10:21 PM

another slow start

3/25/2008 8:10:50 PM

^^Rest assured that is a record Herb won't reach!

3/25/2008 8:11:40 PM

of course he won't. he has a bland floor and lacks names on jerseys

[Edited on March 25, 2008 at 8:13 PM. Reason : dfd]

3/25/2008 8:12:46 PM

EXACTLY!!!

3/25/2008 8:13:19 PM

OMG, you're saying Herb won't win 900 games?

you're an idiot

3/25/2008 8:13:34 PM

back to the game....

this is fucking UGLY! i'm really worried that all the fans who hadn't been to a single game all season, but went to this one expecting to see great things are going to be disappointed.

ASU really needs a huge 3 or a power dunk to change momentum

otherwise, this will be a 20-point game by halftime

3/25/2008 8:15:42 PM

An Arizona State thread on an NCSU message board is idiocy and any fan of herb sendek is an idiot. The bitch of Tobacco Road. What was it a meager 15-46 against Tobacco Road? Even that is skewed. Remove Matt. D @ UNC from that and what do you have??!! Herb didn't have what it takes for the ACC. One sweet 16 and being on the perpetual bubble of the tourney every year epitomizes Herb Sendek!

3/25/2008 8:20:48 PM

i agree. thank god he's gone so we can go back to being at the bottom of the conference every year.

3/25/2008 8:23:44 PM

Actually, if you want to talk facts Herb didn't have what it takes against UNC and Duke. Against the rest of the ACC he was in the Top 4 in the entire ACC among coaches at the time. Still, we measure ourself against UNC and Duke and it's going to take a living legend to coach up to them... unfortunately we weren't able to hire one...

3/25/2008 8:24:49 PM

it doesn't take a living legend to do better than 8-38. that's just ridiculous !!

3/25/2008 8:27:26 PM

it does if you're talking about two of the best programs in college basketball history

3/25/2008 8:29:49 PM

Yeah, even FSU had more success against UNC and Duke during that time span. I just will always remember Herb for tanking games. His first season in the old round robin we made it through the entire first half of the acc schedule with a big 0-8. That's putrid. He also succeeded at losing any "big" non conference games in November and December (a price paid by feasting on no name cupcakes). Down in SC in 04 for example. Or a lousy loss in the Big Ten Challenge against a terrible OSU team in the early part of this decade. Him and his lousy Princeton offense was like waving the white flag. It, like him produced boring and lousy results. What real coach honestly runs that shit? Bielin? Who else? Nobody of worth!

3/25/2008 8:33:55 PM

it NEEDS to be single-digits at the half

otherwise, the fire Herb threads will start on thesundevilsweb.com

3/25/2008 8:35:10 PM

we lost 9 straight in the acc this year...so i guess things haven't changed much.

didnt we win at #9 syracuse in 01-02 on the road in december?

if you're going to make a point, atleast make a valid point. dont just make things up.

That Syracuse win was a fart in the wind. The year prior to that they choked one away at the RBC to Syracuse.
