the Phoenix newspaper announced that Bayless might not be in the game Wednesday night

that is huge. who cares if the UofA fans say "we lost because our star player was out"

all I know is a win would definitely put ASU in the top-25 next Monday and Herb would be 13-3 and 1st in the conference

1/7/2008 9:31:33 PM

On the flip side Arizona State isn't even sniffing the NCAA tournament bubble yet and we're right on the cusp despite playing like pure ass.

1/7/2008 11:10:57 PM

^^ make that 13-2 (3-0)


^ yep. it's pretty amazing. but something tells me Herb wouldn't have it any other way. he's used to being the underdog

1/7/2008 11:27:20 PM

oh boy, 45 minutes away!

1/9/2008 8:43:25 PM

ouch. not looking good. 11 straight missed shots

7+ minute scoring drought. Buddinger already has 9


down 11-6 with 10 left in the first half

1/10/2008 12:24:26 AM

i think it's just a generic design. that's what's hilarious about it.

1/10/2008 12:25:23 AM

just jumped from 69 in the RPI to 61


i didn't realize that UofA had the #1 strength of schedule


big win

Haha I guess I have been in this category.

Funny still the haters disappear more and more with each ASU win. They look like a NCAA team right now.

1/10/2008 12:48:36 AM

not to stir up any shit, but for conversation's sake:

do you guys think that NC State would beat Arizona this year?

1/10/2008 1:00:57 AM

if we played them 10 times i'm sure each team would win at least a couple

ie, who knows

1/10/2008 1:02:57 AM

Wow, congrats herb.

1/10/2008 2:17:17 AM

yes we would beat AZ

and ASU as well.



ACC...some of you fools are too young to remember the REAL herb days.

1/10/2008 2:19:57 AM

i remember the real herb days

herb wouldnt have lost to ecu or no

congrats herb

1/10/2008 4:40:03 AM

i remember the Herb at Reynolds days

and Herb would have beat NO and ECU

"i remember the real herb days herb wouldnt have lost to ecu or no"

I dunno man. Herb had some bad losses... even late in his tenure at NC State when he was playing with his team.

Freakin Tulane, Temple, Umass (Twice).

1/10/2008 10:41:53 AM

wasn't under Herb when we lost to Campbell?

1/10/2008 10:45:25 AM

^^ Tulane was my freshman year... I think they were ranked at the time. I know they were surprisingly good. Still a winnable game.

I don't think any of the games you listed compare to losing to ECU though... UMass was a NIT/border-line NCAA team both years and Temple is always a tough team (though I only remember one Temple game and we LIT THEM UP by like 30).

1/10/2008 10:48:35 AM

GG Herb

1/10/2008 10:50:10 AM

^^ Wasn't it Temple where we broke the record for least points scored in a half (10) since the shot clock?

And they were really bad when we played them I think (We played them twice 2 seasons in a row, lost one)

Who was that when we scored 10? The more I think about it, it wasn't temple...



[Edited on January 10, 2008 at 10:56 AM. Reason : oops, we split with temple]

1/10/2008 10:51:22 AM

its amazing what a good coach can do when he has the support of the fanbase.

1/10/2008 10:51:51 AM

I don't think we'd be having this discussion if Lowe had recruited any shooters.

We're way too stacked down low, we have no one to shoot. You play zone against us, we're doomed.

Hopefully that will change

1/10/2008 10:58:44 AM

Gopack has a good archive for season schedules.

Tulane was #25 when we played them and we lost 73-62 in New Orleans (actually I think we opened the new arena that year for them).

We lost to UMass 69-62 in Raleigh in 2001-2002 and 68-56 in Amherst in 2002-2003.

We beat Temple 80-61 in Raeligh in 2001-2002 and then lost 76-54 in 2002-2003 (wow I don't remember that game at all). Though we did beat UNC twice that year and Duke once... go figure.

Since '99, when I started, those are the only non-BCS conference teams we have lost [until this year] to it looks like, but I might have missed one or two.

^^^ I think you're talking about St. John's... but it was more like 14 I think.. I'll check Holy shit, it was only 10... god damn. I remember I tried to order the channel it was on from TWC but didn't get it in time so couldnt watch it... THANK GOD!

We did score 10 vs St. Johns

I remember listening to it on the radio and loling

1/10/2008 11:01:58 AM

Okay... St. Johns. Yah, it's an NCAA record. We shot like 9 % or something. We were like 1-18 on 3 pointers in the first half (Of course I'm just making this stuff up, but I remember it was something along those lines... I think we shot right at 10% overall that half)

Quote :

"Though we did beat UNC twice that year "

Matt Doherty years, though

I think that's when they won 8-9 games

That was the game where it started snowing mid game and by the time it was over we had like an inch on the ground and classes got canceled the next day, i remember that like it was yesterday

but not seton hall.... remember 2 years ago when they embarrassed us at home, musta forgotten that.

1/10/2008 4:12:19 PM

god, i remember that

1/10/2008 4:23:01 PM

Seton Hall was an NCAA tournament team that year.

UNO and ECU won't even make the NIT.

1/10/2008 4:48:40 PM

I'd take a loss to Seton Hall over either losses to UNO or ECU

1/10/2008 5:01:48 PM

i dont need to remind everyone since we all already know

but the transitive property doesnt work in sports

1/10/2008 5:04:06 PM

Let Sid get his players in before we judge him. We've seen some positives from him, we've seen some negatives from him.

This argument is stupid until a few years from now.

[Edited on January 10, 2008 at 5:37 PM. Reason : same with herb, for that matter]

1/10/2008 5:37:14 PM

I like how some of you come in here and try to argue basketball by comparing Seton Hall and St. John's to ECU and UNO. 2 Big East teams>Conference USA and Sun Belt.

1/10/2008 6:09:26 PM

#25 in the new media poll

should be in the 22-25 range in the AP poll

1/14/2008 1:26:12 PM

#22 in the AP poll

1/14/2008 4:39:21 PM

Did I hear that correctly on the radio that it is the first time since 1995 they have been ranked in the AP poll? Wow...

I'm gonna try and get to the ASU-Cal game if it's on a weekend... too bad I don't have a I Love Herb shirt...

[Edited on January 14, 2008 at 4:43 PM. Reason : x]

1/14/2008 4:43:29 PM

bryan the Cal game is this Thursday night

and yes, this is the first time since '95

only the 3rd time since ever they've started conference play 3-0

tough series coming up in the Bay area. they've only played one true road game thus far. and lost miserably to Nebraska. we'll see
