The (Happily) Trapped Fan: NIT Bound Devils- Still a Great Season

Travis joins Luke Lapinski and myself for the Friday edition of The Show To Be Named Later on Fanster.com. Segment 1 (0:00) - ASU may have strangled its own chances for an [...]

Has the bubble burst?
Remember all the talk about how hard it is to beat a team three times in one season? Turns out it's true. Arizona State's stay at this year's Pacific Life Pac-10 Tournament in Los Angeles was a brief one. The Sun Devils slogged their way to a 70-61 loss to 7th-seeded Stanford on Thursday night, eliminating them from the tournament, and possibly (probably) costing them an [...]

The (Happily) Trapped Fan: Devils Small on Big Stage
The Devils, in the conference tournament, had a chance to send a message to the committee and state definitively that they belong. They controlled their own destiny. So what did they go and do against a Stanford team they had already beaten twice? *Bump*, *spill*, and "Oh, @%#^&!"

Sun Devils trying to avoid another empty Selection Sunday feeling
Two years ago, Herb Sendek's Arizona State Sun Devils gathered as a team to watch the NCAA Tournament field be announced. The Sun Devils, despite losing their first round Pac-10 Tournament game to USC a few days earlier, were hopeful they'd get in to the field. They were 19-12, 9-9 in the Pac-10, and had improved their win total from the previous season by 11. They're [...]

STBNL 3/8/10 - How will the Sun Devils get the hose this year?
Luke Lapinski and Travis Johnson join me for a spirited Monday edition of The Show to Be Named Later on Fanster.com. Segment 1 (0:00) - 22 wins.

ASU Rewind: Devils fall short in quest for initial Pac-10 crown
Every so often, you'll hear someone ask the trivia question, "which is the only Pac-10 team never to win a conference title?" And, unfortunately here in Pitchfork Nation, we know the answer. The Sun Devils entered the weekend just 1/2 game behind Cal for first place in the Pac-10 with just four games to play. The Sun Devils rallied to beat Stanford on Thursday setting up a first [...]

Cal dials up defense, beats ASU to grab share of Pac-10 crown
Things looked pretty good for the Arizona State Sun Devils with 11 minutes to go in their gigantic Pac-10 matchup against California. Jamelle McMillan had just canned a three-pointer to pull the Devils within 2 points at 44-42. The game to that point was a tough, defensive struggle, much to the liking of ASU head coach Herb Sendek. But from that point on, Cal's defense simply [...]

Brownie Points: You live by the three…you know the rest
This column would have been done sooner, but I spent a few days partying with the Canadian women’s hockey team, and I’m not even sure what country I’m from right now. ASU had to play the perfect game to beat Cal on its home floor, and didn’t come anywhere near that in Saturday’s 62-46 loss that ended any hope of a first-ever Pac-10 basketball title.[...]
