Keala King dismissal is latest hit to ASU basketball hopes
Right now, the Arizona State basketball team is like a rowboat struggling to get to the other side of the lake while springing one leak after another. But Herb Sendek‘s ‘boat’ isn’t taking in water. Just the opposite. It’s being drained of something… scoring. The dismissal of Keala King, the sophomore guard who had taken [...] -
ASU out to avenge basketball loss to NAU five years ago
For Arizona State’s Herb Sendek, this afternoon’s basketball game with Northern Arizona must seem like deja vu. But not the good kind. The Lumberjacks were the first opponent for the ASU head coach when he took over the Sun Devil program for the 2006-07 season. NAU won that game, 75-71. (*Update: As we suspected, this [...] -
Sendek gets new hoops contract…but loses Jahii Carson
Poor Herb Sendek. Even when the ASU basketball coach catches a break off the court, it gets offset with a loss on the court.

ASU basketball struggling without solid play at the point

The ASU head basketball coach was voted the Pac-10 Coach of the Year last season for taking his Sun Devils to a second-place finish in [...] -
Pac-10 honors Sendek for ASU’s best hoops finish in 30 years
Score one for the over-achiever. Herb Sendek was just selected the Pac-10 basketball Coach of the Year. Score one for Lisa Love. She looks like a genius right now. Sendek, the ASU head coach hired away from North Carolina State four years ago to resurrect the basketball program, has just led the Sun Devils to [...] -
Battered & bruised, Pac-10 hoops is taking a beating this year
It’s like trying to dribble with a lopsided basketball. You never know what to expect from the bounce. That’s the case with Pac-10 basketball this season, as the men’s teams continue to beat up on each night after night. And Arizona’s colleges are doing their part to enhance the confusion. Over the weekend, UofA was [...]
