ASU will send five to the NCAA Wrestling Championships
The good news for ASU wrestling is they will be able to send five of this year’s squad to compete at the NCAA Championships this weekend, more than double last year’s number. The better news is that the Devils will lose only one of those to graduation. Erik Nye, wrestling in the heavyweight division, is [...] -
Been there, done that. ASU women face familiar foe in WNIT
Should the ASU women’s basketball team struggle in its WNIT opener tomorrow night, the ladies won’t be able to blame it on being out of their comfort zone.

Tourney bubble bursts. ASU packs for the NIT. UA packs it in
When the NCAA Tournament bubble burst, Arizona’s Pac-10 colleges landed in different places. Neither place was first choice. ASU (22-10) found itself with an invitation to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), where it at least got a No. 1 seed. But UofA (16-15) wasn’t extended the same courtesy. And when the fledgling College Basketball Invitational [...] -

Distance duels highlight start of high school T&F season
Let the duels begin. Again. Cross-country is in the books, but high school track & field is just getting out of the starting blocks. And right away, several big names are going toe-to-toe and setting the tone for the rest of the season. The first of many races between the state’s top distance runners got [...] -
ASU, UA get bounced from Pac-10 tourney. What now?
Well, it looks those who have been predicting just one Pac-10 representative will go to the Big Dance this year may be right, although hope isn’t dead yet for a second invite. Unfortunately, that team probably won’t be from Arizona. After ASU lost to UCLA, 70-61, and UofA was beat by Stanford, 75-69, in last [...] -
College rugby is alive and well in Tucson…and getting noticed
