Ah, the rivalry game. Historically, Arizona has dominated ASU in men's basketball, thanks to quality coaching and superior recruiting. These days, however, it is safe to say that the Sun Devils have surpassed the Wildcats as basketball powers.
Given time, I imagine Sean Miller will be able to pull in tremendous recruits on brand name alone. He has also led very competent programs, including Xavier, to NCAA Tournament wins and respect. Herb Sendek and Miller used to work together at Miami (OH), where Sendek was the head coach and Miller an assistant.
We will be covering the game tonight, but I wanted to give us all an opportunity to break down the game beforehand. This should be a fun one, and I hope as many people get to Wells Fargo Arena possible.
