After losing to Vanderbilt, who lost to Kent St. it’s going to be a crazy year in the PAC 12

ASU's first win over a #1 ranked teams since march 7, 1981 I remember that day. We were 26-0 but playing #4? ASU with Alton Lister and Byron Scott. Could not make a shot and lost by 20. No conference tournament back then. 1st round bye in the Big Dance then K State. Such a great season with a lousy finish. |

I was there for that one. ASU had two future pros. A great center and PG. I think it was Lever, their PG who was wearing a 26-1 t-shirt and showed it to the crowd after the game.

I think it was Lever, their PG who was wearing a 26-1 t-shirt and showed it to the crowd after the game. 6 Players drafted, all 5 starters - Byron Scott, Alton Lister, Fat Lever, Sam Williams, Johnny Nash and 6th man Paul Williams. Scott, Lever and Lister all 1st rounder's. as talented a team I have ever seen come into Gill |

I also was in Gill for that one. I remember ASU being ranked #3 at the time. That was a great ASU team with Lister, Byron Scott, and Fat Lever. All future NBA players. They blew the doors off the Beaver squad that day. Unfortunately, like OSU, I don’t think they went very far in the NCAA tournament that year either. |

I remember going to an ASU game in those days very late with a friend, I think we had just gone to "The Jerk", and we arrived with about 2.5-3 minutes left down 8-9 points. Same cast of characters, high-fiving and celebrating the upcoming win... and the Beavs won.

Same cast of characters, high-fiving and celebrating the upcoming win... and the Beavs won. That was probably the 79-80 season when ASU came into Gill ranked #19. ASU had senior Kurt Nimphious that year, along with the other players listed. OSU ended up ranked #5 that year, but lost to Lamar in the NCAA first round. I always thought that 79-80 year was stronger--more balanced scoring at the guard and less reliant on Steve Johnson-- than the next year's team even though the overall record wasn't quite as good. |

I always thought that 79-80 year was stronger--more balanced scoring at the guard and less reliant on Steve Johnson-- than the next year's team even though the overall record wasn't quite as good. Arizona State was ranked #5 coming into the game and entered the Tournament ranked #3. However, the Devils were awarded a two-seed in the Midwest. The Beavers were awarded the one-seed in the West. Arizona State, as the two seed, was shipped off to play the woefully underrated seven-seed Kansas Jayhawks, Big 12 champions, in Wichita. Kansas, playing about two hours from the university blew out Arizona State. Oregon State played the woefully underrated eight-seed Kansas State Jayhawks, who finished runners-up to Kansas in the Big 12 in Los Angeles . Johnson fouled out with less than four minutes left, and the Beavers could not hit their free throws. The Wildcats held for last shot in the pre-shot clock days and hit the final shot to win. Kansas State "upset" the four-seed Illinois (Big Ten #3) in Salt lake City before bowing out to the ACC Champion and national runners-up North Carolina by 14. Kansas lost to Wichita State which lost to LSU in the Super Dome. Both Pac-10 schools got jobbed by the bracket-makers in 1981. |
