Really disappointing, with everything on the line. Not sure if WB survives this, especially if this was the last game for ASU.

I think he survives this although it is certainly disappointing. It is still possible they make the postseason although I fear they just played themselves out of it. This is the problem with a single elimination tournament. One poor outing and that’s it. No excuses. They crapped the bed.
Willie will likely get next season with a full compliment of 34 scholarships and that is huge considering not every school out there is increasing. NIL needs to improve as well so that is an issue.
The problem for Willie is the talent drain after this season officially ends. Tobias and King are gone. So is Cromwick. Most certainly Walker, Compton and Jackson will be gone. Good chance Vu. That is 7 players out of your position player group that’ll all need to be replaced if they are all in fact gone. Plus you likely lose your talented but inconsistent Friday starter, you lose your Saturday starter and an important bullpen arm in Jonah Goblin Giblin.
That is alot to replace. I also think losing Nu’u Contrades a couple weeks ago to his stupid injury was really more debilitating than people understand and I think is directly responsible for one of the reasons this season has ended the way it has
