easy out of conference schedule leads to 10-2 record going into conference play. i could see an 8-8 conference record. 19-11, after a second round conference tourney exit, gets ASU into the NCAA tourney where they'll likely face State in the 5-12 matchup

1 Antwi Atuahene G 6-3 205 Senior Mississauga, ON
2 Eric Boateng C 6-10 245 Sophomore London, England
3 Ty Abbott G 6-4 195 Freshman Phoenix, AZ
4 Jeff Pendergraph F 6-9 230 Junior Etiwanda, CA
10 Jamelle McMillan G 6-2 180 Freshman Seattle, WA
12 Derek Glasser G 6-1 180 Sophomore Marina Del Rey, CA
13 James Harden G 6-5 210 Freshman Los Angeles, CA
14 Christian Polk G 6-3 175 Sophomore Glendale, AZ
22 Kraidon Woods F 6-8 190 Freshman Henryville, PA
23 Steve Jones G 6-1 222 Junior Portland, OR
30 Rihards Kusiks G-F 6-6 205 Freshman Miami, FL
32 Chad Goldstein F 6-9 241 Junior Scottsdale, AZ
44 Jerren Shipp G 6-3 214 Sophomore Los Angeles, CA



it will be exciting to see what Boateng can do. if anything, he'll take some pressure off Pendergraph. we'll see who gets the most burn at PG between Antwi/Derek/Jamelle. can Polk hit his jumpers? is Big Game James ready to win PAC-10 freshman of the year?

it will be a very exciting season.


BTW, 19-11 (8-8) gets Herb the conference COY award, hands down.....

here's to making the tourney and doing nothing in it every single year.

10/26/2007 2:00:30 PM

.....which would be totally fine for most ASU fans


it would be like Duke making a bowl game every year

Not trying to troll at all, but they have almost no chance at making the tourney this year. 8 of the other 9 Pac-10 teams look definitively better than ASU this year. I think the program made the right decision with Herb, but he' not a miracle worker.

Sendek on Eric Boateng's upcoming role at ASU

Quote :

"I think Eric has done a terrific job transforming his body. If any of you recall what he looked like, perhaps the first time you saw him in practice here last year, and then had a glimpse of him today, I don't think you could help but notice how he's almost a different person physically. Eric immediately helped us when he committed, because I think he gave us instant credibility on a national level in terms of recruiting. Then even last year, when he wasn't in games, he added great value to our program because of his character quotient, because of his leadership skills, and because of the kind of person he was, not to mention he made our practices better with his presence and competitiveness"

"8 of the other 9 Pac-10 teams look definitively better than ASU "

lets see:

Arizona - ASU will split this season
Cal - not better (anderson and hardin are good, but they lack depth)
UCLA - better
USC - better
Oregon - not better
OSU - not better
Wazzou - not better
Washington - better
Stanford - we'll see when Lopez gets unsuspended, but with him gone they're not better

^ doing a detailed layout of your own opinion does not make a different opinion incorrect.

10/26/2007 2:36:09 PM

here's how I see it

Arizona - better
Cal - better
UCLA - better
USC - better
Oregon - It's close since they lost Brooks, I'll give you that, but I still think they're better this year
Oregon St. - not better
Wazzou - better
Washington - better
Stanford - we'll see while Lopez is suspended, but with him back they're definitely better

this is just a detailed layout of my opinion too of course..

here's how vegas sees it:

1381 Arizona +600
1382 Arizona State +2500
1383 California +1200
1384 Oregon +500
1385 Oregon State +3000
1386 Stanford +1000
1387 UCLA +175
1388 Southern Cal +350
1389 Washington +1500
1390 Washington State +300

Hey, remember when Herb was bragging about Levi Watkins "transforming" his body? He went from shitty to shittier.

10/26/2007 2:42:23 PM

hey, remember when Levi Watkins blew his knee out

10/26/2007 2:50:27 PM

jordan collins transformed his body 219 times

10/26/2007 2:56:52 PM

Yeah Levi was a highly touted recruit and was pretty good as a Frosh but after that knee surgery he was never the same.

Man, I still remember that UMd game like it was yesterday. Levi had all the looks of being a solid to excellent ACC player and then his knee popped right in front of where I was sitting... he was never the same.

Though he would play like shit all game and then out of nowhere pour in a DAGGER that would win us games from time to time. @ FSU is one that I can think of...

10/26/2007 3:05:23 PM

Do you think they will be better than 8-22 this year?

10/26/2007 3:06:42 PM

Yes Sputter we get it. You think they went 8-22 because of Herb. Not because they had no players with any talent at all outside of Pendergraph. And yes they will be better. Look at the recruiting class he brought in.

^^^Yeah at FSU I believe. That was a close game throughout. Levi actually had a good shooting touch. That knee injury has bitten several NCSU stars too often.

so when herb eventually gets fired from this job, are you going to make a thread for the next place he coaches at???

10/26/2007 5:33:52 PM

They'll barely have two digits in the win column this year

10/26/2007 6:39:16 PM

you cant be fucking serious with this thread

10/26/2007 10:18:26 PM

oh, i'm fucking serious

^^ and how can you say that he wont get double digit wins? they will lose to Illinois, probably lose in the consolation game of Maui and will lose to Xavier. but they'll win the rest of the OOC games. there's 8 right there

10/27/2007 11:00:13 AM

they'll manage to lose 1 or 2 OOC games

10/27/2007 11:55:56 AM

right....Illinois and Xavier

i'm not denying that

10/27/2007 11:56:54 AM

This is a great thread. Reminds of all off the posters who liked to blow herb after we would get blown out on a regular basis.

Oh well, remember Duke is just 1/16th of a conference schedule

10/27/2007 1:17:36 PM

did anybody see the sarah silverman episode where the two gay dudes had an absurdly long standoff, sarcastically pretending to like tab soda because they didn't want to give in to the other side of a petty argument?

this is exactly like that, in that it's really fucking queer

when is NCSU going to play ASU

11/8/2007 10:43:18 AM

in the tournament this year

4/13 matchup

11/8/2007 3:04:56 PM

if NCSU and ASU both make the ncaa tourney, and we're somewhere around a 4 seed and they're somewhere around a 13 seed, the bracketologists or whoever love coming up with matchups like that...that would be a helluva game

11/8/2007 3:42:51 PM
