First game sounded a bit testy at the end. Two techs and a flagrant 2.

Teams assume the personality of their coach (or so I've read here). Hurley is a punk. So I guess, no surprise.

Boyle gets fired up too.....his guys can be a bit chippy....Hurley is just nuts.

I just glanced at the bracket a few days back.. IIRC, we need to beat UW, USC, Utah/Oregon, presumably Zona to go dancing, correct?   |

I don't why "experts" think ASU should make the tournament. The committee isn't supposed to look at how a team finishes out the season and league standings no longer matter in NCAA selection, which I don't like. But how does anyone justify taking the 8th place team with a losing record in a mediocre conference? Stanford, Oregon, Washington, and Utah all finished ahead of ASU, and probably only one of them gets into the tournament, and you take the team with the worst record?
ASU has been living off two victories all season, Nov 24 vs Xavier and Dec 10 vs Kansas. Three months have passed. ASU has lost 5 of their last 6 games and have gone 8-11 since Dec 30. The Huskies beat Kansas too, and beat ASU in only head-to-head matchup, I think they deserve to be in ahead of ASU. But let's face it, PAC-12 screwed the pooch with some bad losses this year, probably only Arizona, USC, and UCLA deserve to get in.

But let's face it, PAC-12 screwed the pooch with some bad losses this year, probably only Arizona, USC, and UCLA deserve to get in. I agree they are on shaky ground, but hard to complain about a team 'living' on the two of the 3 best wins the whole conference has, one of them on the road. Their resume is very similar to UW, and a case can be made for either, or neither: www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/teams/rpi/WASH/washington-huskieswww.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/teams/rpi/ARIZST/arizona-state-sun-devilsMy guess it's neither. I see UA, USC, UCLA and Utah as in, with UW, ASU needing to get to the tournament finals to be in. ASU obviously didn't so that. |
