ASU Loses Again In Overtime; Washington State Prevails 51-49
Taylor Rochestie couldn't even make his free throws down the stretch for the Cougars, but in the end he nailed a huge 3 point attempt from a good 25 feet away to seal the victory.
I am sure we all feel this failure deep in our stomachs. Why can't this team consistently deliver on its potential?
The answer: As far as James Harden goes, so does the rest of the team.
Lets look at a stat line from the game.
2/11 FG, 7/10 FT, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 13 points.
Who? James Harden.
How can we win if he misses 9 out of his 11 shots?
Answer: We cannot.
How did they shut him down?
Wazzu forced terrible shots from Harden and played stand-up defense, not allowing the refs to call hand fouls as they like to do for elite players.
Losing both of these games hurts a lot. 0-4 against Washington schools? Big knock on our respectability. Not that UW isn't good, but WSU is a mediocre squad that has our number.
With this loss, I wouldn't be surprised to see us back in the 20s in the polls.
Not that it matters, because the Pac-10 tournament shall be ours for the taking.
Bring on Stanford.

Next year ... I shudder to think ...
Kuksiks, Abbott, Glasser, Shipp, McMillan, Boateng … does anyone think this group will win even six conference games next season.
We have three freshmen coming in that we will talk about.
Lockett or Darius will probbaly attempt to take over the Harden role.
