ASU Basketball (2012-13)

[Absolute Zero]

UGH! maybe not! Depaul was just too big. That combined with wayyyy too many missed free throws and open shots really did the Devils in.

Well, sorry they didn't pull out the win with you in attendance there. Hopefully, they'll use this for motivation and get the next one.

Nice 65-56 win over Colorado.

Now 13-2 (2-0).

 

[Mathew81]

That was a big win. Up until now, we've played a ridiculously easy schedule. But Colorado was #6 in RPI.

Great Win!!! Went and saw a great comeback and they made a statement that they are legit. Great time.

So the NIT is within reach!?!



Sorry, could not resist.

:championship:

Actually, the buzz is they may get big dance consideration if they keep this up.

good to finally see people joining me at Wells Fargo. More ASU fans should be coming, this team is really fun to watch and the crowd (that was there) was rockin

 

[AsUdUdE]

Bachinski's dig at UofA was pretty funny..

ASU has to win some conference road games before that talk is legitimized.

Absolutely.

They will be tested soon with road games at Oregon State and Oregon coming up next, followed by a home stand against U of A.

huge game tonight for the Devils!!

 

[AsUdUdE]

ASU looking solid midway through the second ha;f on the road versus Oregon ST up 10...

Keep it up Devils! This would be back-to-back statement wins for the Sun Devils...

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Up by 9 with 9 min left.

 

[AsUdUdE]

Thanks mainly to Bachynski for setting offensive basketball back about 70 years, OSU is within 5...

Really these last 5ish minutes of Bachynski are the worst I have personally seen him play.. he looks lost with the ball... really sad..

 

[AsUdUdE]

Bachyniski with the biggest block of the game!

ASU up 8 2 minutes to go

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Up 13...

 

[AsUdUdE]

72-62 Devils win..

Really a big PAC-12 road win, one where they pretty much controlled the game from the get go..

important on a lot of levels, now lets go get that Oregon win!

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Devils win and a Wildcats loss.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

but the rest of your team is mediocre at best and Big Sky caliber at worst.

You underrate Bachinski and Felix.

 

[Mathew81]

That one got a little too close for a bit. I don't think we hit a shot more than 3ft away from the basket for the last 10 minutes.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

You underrate Bachinski and Felix.

Bachynski isn't good if he's playing against someone with comparable size. Felix has been much better this year than he has been in the past I'll admit. Never thought he'd develop into a quality shooter from outside and his ball handling is much better.

You guys will still end up in the NIT. The rest of the roster will get exposed over the course of the season. It's like a Harden team in which its extremely top heavy although the big contributors aren't quite on Harden or Pendergraph's level.

 

[AsUdUdE]

That the 1st place Sun Devils... I know I know it may not last that long, but as of tonight.. It is a scene I have not seen in a while..

go devils!

I don't know if we are definitely headed for the NIT...

I went through the games and I think a realistic ending record is somewhere between 22-9 and 23-8... I have to think that gets the Devils in the big dance even if it is a lower seed right?

I ask that with no sarcasm, just an honest question..

Bubble. Would need a good P12 Tourney run due to horrid OOC resume.

UofA is a bubble team. The Cats get the benefit of blown call, or they would be two games behind ASU in the conference already.
