This is just terrible news for ASU fans, but it’s something that comes with the lack of support the teams have been given ASU can’t afford to fund 22 sports because not enough people are showing up to the games, buying ASU merchandise, or donating to the athletic […]

I’ve had mid-terms and vacations, and all kinds of stuff interfering with my blog lately. Furtunately, there hasn’t been too much action in Sun Devil Nation.
The baseball team started off the season great, but have faded a bit. They have now lost 4 games, and are currently ranked #4 in the nation.
Spring football […]

The season is over for the Arizona men’s basketball team.  They lost by thirteen points at home against the University of Florida.
The Sun Devils started the game off ugly, as the Gators jumped to a 17-3 lead.  ASU slowly worked their way back throughout the game, and even managed to take a two point […]

The players came over to slap hands with the student-section.  One by one the players ran by, but it was Jeff Pendergraph’s face that said it all.  The previous two seasons Pendergraph had suffered through consecutive losing season with ASU.  While he was certainly disappointed the Sun Devils were left out of the NCAA tournament, […]

Arizona State was left out of the tournament. They likely lost their spot when Georgia took down Arkansas for the SEC title.
The toughest thing to swallow were the seeds Oregon (9) and Arizona (10) landed. That showed the committee didn’t even view us as close to those two teams, despite finishing ahead […]

 
ASU and Sun Devil Nation have been bubble watching for the past few days, and what have we learned? Well… not a whole lot. The size of and number of teams on the bubble may have been whittled down, but Arizona State is still right on the fringe.
As far as I’m concerned, there […]

ASU lost to USC 59-55. Now they are forced into a sort of college basketball purgatory, and wait for things top play themselves out. They certainly aren’t out, but they need help.
First, I’d like to give a few thoughts on the game.
I am not someone who believes that the refs can blow a […]

Arizona State is now sitting uncomfortably on the bubble after splitting on their trip up to Oregon. Expecting a win against OU would have been a stretch, but stealing a victory from the Ducks could have all but guaranteed a tournament birth for the Sun Devils.
Unfortunately, I was not able to see either of […]

I would like to apologize for not posting a review of the USC game. I figured every ASU fan has been bombarded by the articles stating “The Sun Devils are amazing and a lock for the tournament”. These articles have a point. ASU did just beat a very good USC team decisively, […]

I’d ike to use this space to briefly discuss the UCLA game, and then go into depth on ASU’s tournament hopes.
Make no mistake about it, despite a 21 point route, last night’s game was a perfectly winnable one for ASU.   That is, if they had played disciplined, fundamental basketball.
I see them do the drills […]
