Photo Essay: Pac-10 Semifinals- #1 Washington Huskies vs. #4 Arizona State Sun Devils
Game two of the Pac-10 Tournament for the Sun Devils found them playing against the top-ranked Washington Huskies. While going 0-2 against UW in the regular season, ASU played with a swagger in the first half, building a lead that was found to be insurmountable, coming out with the 75-65...
The Pac-10 Tournament : Yea or Nay?
The NCAA tournament opens up tomorrow (no, don't get me started on yesterday's "play-in" game), but before we get into full tournament mode, I have some unfinished business to discuss regarding the Pac-10 Tournament. Last week, I wrote up a post on the history of the tournament, and in it, I...
USC comes to play...beats a listless UCLA 65-55
Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times Talk about throwing everything including the kitchen sink at a game to get the win! I just finished watching the game on my DVR and I can say with confidence that if the team had played with this sort of passion during the season against ucla their...
ASU Sun Devils 75, Washington Huskies 65: Game Rundown From Los Angeles
C.W.'s note: I wrote this starting at halftime, and continuing throughout the rest of the game tonight. There are no alterations; everything I wrote is what I felt when it was happening.

Maintaining Intensity
So did last night signal the reemergence of hall mark Ben Ball warrior defense we haven't seen much of this season or were the Bruins lucky to face off against the Cougars on their bad shooting night? BTW somehow majority of the teams that faced off against AA/RW led Ben Ball warriors over the...
Bruins Cruise Past Cougars
Bruins open the Pac-10 tournament in style as they cruise past Washington Cougars (the last team to beat us this season) by a score of 64-53. Here is the boxscore. The biggest difference this time around was the appearance of classic Ben Ball defense. DC, JS, PAA and rest of the Ben Ball warriors...
POSTGAME THREAD: Now, we wait
Well, that certainly didn't go the way we hoped. At halftime I proclaimed there was reason to hope that we could claw back into this thing in the second half -- in looking at the Four Factors, only our eFG% was out of line with our season numbers. Everything else was as good (or better) than a...
ASU 68, Arizona 56: Stream of Consciousness From The Staples Center
