^^ ah, thanks. I knew I had heard his name before. It was from UConn. Calhoun wanted him from what I remember. Similar skillset and size to what Ray Allen had coming out of high school.

should be interesting to see what this does to the Gophers for their game versus ASU.

i was worried about that game, being the Sun Devils first road game. now I'm slightly less worried

very embarrassing loss

5-1 would have been a very nice start


16 wins = postseason

"nope, i actually really like Herb"

So do I. I want him to succeed no matter where he goes. He is a good coach and a better man.

Sorry for not coming out and saying FUCK YOU HERB or some stupid shit like that. Herb did a LOT for this university. If not for Herb, we would still be playing players like Jeremy Hyatt or Bryant Feggins.

This thread is gay.

Arizona State is gonna choke.

11/30/2006 6:12:19 PM

Don't you have to have expectations to choke? Much like NCSU this year, Arizona State doesn't have lofty expectations... Oh if you think it's gay you're under no obligation to read it or respond to it if you don't want to.

I'm interested in how he does and I like him as a person so I'll follow his team out of curiosity more than anything else.

11/30/2006 6:15:59 PM

^ bingo!

nobody in Tempe gives a shit about basketball, as evident from the 4000-5000 attendance figures. everybody expects this to be a 10 win season, which it very well could be.

now if he's not in the tourney in 2 years, then it could be considered a choke.

the lineup in '08 will include Eric Boateng and Jeff Pendergraf as seniors, Christian Polk and Jerren Shipp as juniors and James Harden and Jamelle McMillan as sophomores. that could be a preseason top-10 team

11/30/2006 6:24:53 PM

2nd meeting of the Raleigh Chapter of the Herb Sendek Fan Club tomorrow at 1pm at Sammy's

wear maroon or gold and cheer on Herb when his team faces Minnesota



first pitcher is on me

12/2/2006 12:19:27 AM

Who's gonna be coaching Minnesota?

Didn't their coach quit after they lost to Clemson?

12/2/2006 12:24:46 AM

the assistant coach stepped in as interim coach


so...

either they'll play hard for the new coach or play like they did while losing to a D2 school

but....

it is the Sun Devils' first road game, so we'll see what happens. I'm excited either way

12/2/2006 12:27:55 AM

note to herb haters club:

tomorrow your colors shall also be maroon and gold

12/2/2006 12:29:12 AM

good call

herb will take over time-out calling duties for them (calling timeouts whenever minnesota starts to slump)

12/2/2006 12:33:50 AM

it would be good to go 2-0 versus the Big Ten this year


granted, Penn State and Northwestern are having better seasons than Iowa and Minnesota, but Big Ten is Big Ten

It very well could be if Herb could, you know, develop players.

12/2/2006 6:25:45 AM

good call, Chance


don't forget, we're meeting in about 2 hours

12/2/2006 10:31:03 AM

ASU is making a big comeback....4 down with 1:30 left

12/2/2006 3:02:17 PM

They had a WIDE OPEN 3 for the tie and blew it, it looked like but I turned right as it was ending..

12/2/2006 3:11:26 PM

5-18 3 pointers

12/2/2006 3:13:47 PM

herbs record is now 4-3

12/2/2006 3:18:18 PM

lol herb

12/2/2006 3:19:18 PM

Live and die by the three, forever! Pretty much any monkey could come up with that game plan.

12/2/2006 3:20:43 PM

ASU (7 games)

3PM: 52
3PA: 151
%: 34.4%

NCSU (5 games)

3PM: 31
3PA: 92
%: 33.7

[Edited on December 2, 2006 at 3:30 PM. Reason : 3's not ft]

12/2/2006 3:29:43 PM

horrible game

way too many turnovers, way too many missed FTs (especially on the front end of 1 and 1), too many stupid fouls, too many missed wide open jumpers


good comeback, but you cant keep playing from behind.

i chalk this one up to cold shooting and the freshmen getting their first look at a hostile crowd on the road



should be 4-4 after a BLOWOUT by Xavier

12/2/2006 3:51:11 PM

vs. Xavier tonight at 6

ESPN-U

matchup of teacher versus pupil


I expect ASU to get slaughtered by ~20

12/16/2006 12:08:23 PM

" but i still say the only reason people are happy to have gotten Lowe is that he's an alumni "

uh, how bout because he's a better coach than Herb.

12/16/2006 5:30:49 PM

Through 9 games he is already better than Herb?

We have lost 2 games that we could have easily won.

Don't put him up on the damn high horse like people did Chuck when he fooled them with his shit.

12/16/2006 5:33:14 PM

On the road

with six players.

And we were in position to win both.

What the fuck are you pissed off about?

12/16/2006 5:34:47 PM

Im not pissed off about anything.

Im just saying we don't really know how good Sidney is. And yes we could have won both games.

Ill cheer my ass for him, but I just don't want another damn Chuck, an alumni who blinds us with his charisma.

12/16/2006 5:36:09 PM

sloppy game tonight

but held Colgate to 36 points

Jeff had a career high 19 rebounds and 10 points, Christian had 10 also

5-4 with NC A&T on Thursday and Davidson after that


should be 7-4 going into conference play

*knock on wood*

12/20/2006 12:37:53 AM

Bob McKillop can have his white boys ball at Davidson, I wouldn't count that one yet.

Why he doesn't have a higher profile job is beyond me. I guess Davidson makes him happy.

12/20/2006 1:11:19 AM

12/20/2006 8:01:42 AM

vcouldcoach, is that you?

12/20/2006 8:50:31 AM

squeaked by NC A&T 71-66. record is now 6-4

the good:

freshman PG Derek Glasser had a career high 16 points
got to the line 27 times
got some solid minutes out of the bench

the bad:

missed 12 FTs
15 second half fouls
Polk, Pendergraf and Glasser all had 4 fouls each with about 8 minutes to play
Polk is in a rut
28% three point shooting



next game is tomorrow at 4 ET versus winner of tonight's late game between Davidson and Ohio

12/21/2006 11:10:26 PM

indeed it will be Davidson this afternoon


good thing is that their game last night was over right around midnight

12/22/2006 8:40:17 AM

Davidson dropped an L on Herb, 75-70

12/22/2006 6:04:15 PM

gotta quit playing from behind

down by 20 in the 2nd half

cut it to 2

but Davidson sealed it with FTs


still need 11 wins to make the NIT....gonna be tough

12/22/2006 11:12:28 PM

not looking good so far....

down 8 to a below average Stanford team


i'll keep ya posted

12/28/2006 10:13:03 PM

oh well, lost by 11


gonna be a LONG Pac 10 season

12/28/2006 11:02:11 PM

tough overtime loss to Cal tonight

3 point game with 30 seconds left in OT, missed both of the FTs. can't win games if your guards can't hit a FT or two

0-2 in conference, 6-7 overall

12/31/2006 12:42:02 AM

Chalk up another loss sonny. Herborific.

1/5/2007 6:05:04 PM

bad game indeed


i can't explain it. i'll chalk it up to turnovers and lack of perimeter D

can't say that they were ice cold because they shot 53% from the field. can't say they didn't feed the big man because Jeff P. had 16 points on 8-8 shooting. can't say it was foul trouble because nobody had more than 3 fouls

i just can't explain it. i've come to realize that it's gonna be a very long season and 10 wins will be a miracle.

1/5/2007 7:33:13 PM

HAY DON'T WORRY GUYZ

HERB WILL BE WINNING NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS THERE IN NO TIME

1/5/2007 7:59:44 PM

nah, the best he'll ever do there is top-2 in the conference

he'll never break into that next level

1/5/2007 10:33:29 PM

^ woah was that a serious post?

1/5/2007 11:46:29 PM

^^how do you figure that when he couldn't even do it here?

1/5/2007 11:54:48 PM

Quote :

"i can't explain it. i'll chalk it up to turnovers and lack of perimeter D"

And they were -11 points at the FT line. Inside game FTL


I hope Grant et all get to play ASU at some point in the future. Cmon ASU, get a winning record.

for those of us who have DirectTV it's on FSN-AZ (649)
