gum it up now but we all know how this story ends.

1/26/2009 11:46:02 PM

it ends by:

1) having a legitimate shot at winning the conference
2) making the NCAA as a sub-5 seed
3) then who knows from there. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
4) becoming a god on campus



....and that's all accomplished before his third April with the program

How good will the team be without Harden?

tonight's game will be disgusting to watch....luckily it's not televised!

WSU has the #1 defense in the nation, so this could be one of those 45-44 final score games

Sun Devils have had 8 days off. who knows if that will help or not. hopefully Abbott's hand and Harden's leg are A-OK

1/29/2009 5:17:00 PM

tough loss

oh well....16-4

MUST WIN on saturday

1/29/2009 10:40:25 PM

1/29/2009 10:51:35 PM

These are the type of games Herb would lose. We might suck now but welcome to getting all ranked high and then losing some crap game like that.

1/29/2009 10:58:59 PM

their #1 defense in the nation definitely looked like the #1 defense in the nation...that's for sure

and they had a dude go on a Jodie Meeks-esque performance. hit 8 dagger three pointers

1/29/2009 11:04:07 PM

well, there goes any chance at competing for the conference title....


on a bright note, Herb got T'ed up and the crowd actually showed some fire tonight

1/31/2009 7:04:47 PM

is this thing done? espn.com says 10 minutes left.

1/31/2009 7:06:47 PM

they've cut it to as low as 7 after being down by 19 in the 2nd half

4 minutes left

it's over

1/31/2009 7:24:45 PM

familiar

1/31/2009 7:29:21 PM

you guys ought to watch this game!

it's proving to be one hell of a game. cut it to 6 with 2 minutes left.

it's doable....quick turn it to 686

boy, talk about a must-win!

a 3 game losing streak would be a killer

should be an easy game against the worst team in the PAC10...but Glasser is out with an injury, so it'll be tougher than usual

2/5/2009 12:49:18 PM

Congrats Herb on your 300th win.

I think Harden had 36 last night?

But Glasser hurt his head again. Had a pretty nasty pick set on him.

2/6/2009 8:32:37 AM

from what I've read, Glasser will be OK to play Saturday against Oregon St.

yep, James had 36, including MANY 3s late in the shot clock and one hell of a dunk

....a little tidbit on Herb's 300th win. he is the 2nd youngest active coach to achieve 300 wins. Billy Donovan is first. not too shabby

17-5 (6-4)

300 Division I wins, that is.

2/6/2009 1:00:01 PM

typical of a PrickPride junkie...quick to put a black cloud over anything positive about Herb

2/6/2009 1:07:15 PM

How exactly is that throwing a cloud over his accomplishments... thats the freakin record.

Stop getting your panties in a wad. No one is criticizing anything.




...and I'm glad you shared that I'm a "Prickpride Junkie" with everyone since you know me so well

2/6/2009 1:19:31 PM

Who's this Herb guy?

2/6/2009 1:30:05 PM

who is this coach called herb sendek?

2/6/2009 1:35:33 PM

is there any other Division in men's college basketball? honestly

2/6/2009 1:45:44 PM

If I were an ASU fan, I'd start having my kids harrassing Herb's kids at school. 5-4 in the Pac-10 ain't going to cut it 'round there...

2/6/2009 1:51:29 PM

^^Maybe not important ones, but there are win/loss records there as well.

For Instance

Bruce Pearl required the least amount of games coached in NCAA history to reach 200 wins. (I think it took him like 232 games).

He broke Everett Case's record (It took Case in the 250ish range to win 200).

Most of Pearl's were vs. Division II teams. Case's weren't.

Technically Case still holds the record for "Fewest games coached to reach 200 Division I wins" I believe.

That holds no relevance to Herb, obviously, but just shows that details are important. It doesn't mean I'm saying its any less of a milestone, but apparently there's a Division X coach (or coaches) that are younger and have 300 wins.

It doesn't even freakin' matter.... didn't plan on getting criticized for posting that.

^^ 6-4

game out of 2nd...gotta beat OSU and hope Stanford beats UDub on Sunday

2/6/2009 2:18:03 PM

I'm confused...and maybe I'm reading it wrong...but it seems like what PackBacker is saying is that it's a little more impressive because Herb didn't rack up his wins while at a tiny Division II school...but instead did it playing with the big boys??

What am I missing??

2/6/2009 3:26:20 PM

Eh, just let it slide. They used to bicker like an old married couple when Herb was still around.

2/6/2009 3:45:16 PM

coming from a guy who goes out of his way to knock herb sendek, i didn't think that was a knock on herb sendek.

2/6/2009 3:48:35 PM

Question about Marshall - have they always been D1 in basketball? They moved to D1 in football in 97 and Donavan was there from 94-96.

2/6/2009 4:12:33 PM

sleeper of a game, but a win's a win

18-5 (7-4)

2/7/2009 10:42:10 PM

i almost didn't believe that final score.

2/8/2009 2:48:40 AM

it wasn't a sexy game by any means

but it's nice that my two favorite teams are a combined 16 games over .500

i don't think a whole lot of other people can make that claim

2/8/2009 5:07:25 PM

NyM410's got you.

2/8/2009 5:13:40 PM

back up to #18 in both polls after a sweep of the Oregon schools on the road

probably overrated, but the pollsters needed to spice up the UCLA game a little more

ESPN-HD game on Thursday...#6 vs. #18

2/12/2009 12:50:05 PM

^^that's a little sad.

2/12/2009 12:50:58 PM

your mom was sad last night when I glued her eyes shut

2/12/2009 12:52:50 PM

^of course she was sad. You were yelling "Herb!".



V I don't really feel the need to "defend my mother's honor" from a "your mama" joke on the internet. It's all in good fun.

[Edited on February 12, 2009 at 1:18 PM. Reason : V]

2/12/2009 12:57:20 PM

haha...you'd rather make fun of me than defend your mother's honor after I bragged about shooting on her face

2/12/2009 1:00:12 PM

Rumors are they might fill 10,000 seats tonight...

What are you predicting for the next 7 games? I'm going with 4 and 3, that's a tough final seven games. I'd say they could easily go 2-5 though...

I have a feeling they're going to get spanked by UCLA tonight. Just a gut feeling.

2/12/2009 4:06:03 PM

Maybe because UCLA is the hottest team in D1 basketball right now...
