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 [...] -
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 [...] -
One last game… ASU, UA basketball still hanging in there
As if carefully scripted, the ASU and UofA basketball games last night played out very similarly. Both schools won over L.A. teams, both won by five points, and both had to fight hard for one more win in a desperate run to season’s end.

The Wildcats [...] -
Cal gets first Pac-10 basketball title since 1960. But now what?
OK, the ‘Big Game’ is over. ASU fell a second time this season to Cal, this time in a 62-46 rout at Haas Pavilion. The Golden Bears locked up at least a share of the Pac-10 men’s basketball crown with the win Saturday – their first title in 50 years. But what happens now? The [...] -
ASU divers deliver at Pac-10 Championships
ASU’s diving team got off to an impressive start at the Pac-10 Championships in Washington. The men’s 3-meter diving crown seems to have found a semi-permanent home at Arizona State University. For the eighth consecutive year, a Sun Devil has won the 3-meter conference championship. And it was a sophomore who won the title at [...] -
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 [...]
