Yes.

How the hell did Johnson miss that 1 foot putback!

What a win for the devils...Huge for the Big Mo heading into UW...First place in the pac10 on the line there!!

EDIT: I also thought this game was relatively well officiated. A couple calls that went each way could have gone the other, but overall I thought it was a good game. There looked like a little push in the back against Hill at the end, but I didn't think it was a horrible no call (I know I am biased here, but I really think you can't complain about the no call there).

i was on tv during the court rush. crazy game.

I didn't see a push it seemed like Hill's momentum took him off the court.

Can't believe Johnson missed the putback though.

Huge for ASU, if anybody is going to catch UW it will be ASU. But they gotta beat UW at UW.

bleh.....UofA needs to learn how to close out games. Nice run towards the end, just came up short.

And for those who keep bringing up the 4 game winning streak, just remember that UofA leads the all time record 138-79. Long ways to go my friends.

Johnson missed the putback, but there might have been a little goal tending on Pendergraph on that play.

Nice game and win for ASU...wasn't sure if there was goaltending on Hill's shot, would love for someone who saw replays to give a definitive answer.

Congrats to ASU, but rushing the court for beating a team that is unranked while you in fact are is kind of, well, sad.

 

[Bufalay]

oops

 

[Bufalay]

haha oops, that is a large broom.

In the history of organized basketball has a team ranked 14th rushed the court after almost choking away a 17 point lead against an unranked team?

Sounds like your a little bitter

Tucson inferiority complex is my favorite.

Not a very smart question.

It's happened at least once (on 2-22-09).

Not at all. Good, well-earned victory for ASU. Rushing the court after beating an unranked opponent just illustrates how new ASU fan is to winning.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Oregon fans rushed the court after beating Stanford. Emotions run high in conference games. Big freaking deal.

If only someone would have stepped on Budinger's head they may have won on the sheer motivation of him forgetting he's just a volleyball player.
