naturebob Report post Posted December 11, 2017 Better coaching,for one and better guards. Ayton from U of A might be best big man in the nation.But they don't have any guards down in Tucson. .Jackson the point guard with 6 names is terrible. about 3 assists a game and can't shoot or penetrate..I cheer for both teams but a a Basketball nut for 50 years I know who is better. Test Me any Young Guys....BOB! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redman Report post Posted December 11, 2017 Hurley to Duke. HAHA ASU is playing lights out, but season is very young. A lot can happen...like an injury or something- happens every year. I saw the spread yesterday and couldn't believe ASU was a double digit dog after Washington beat Kanas and how well they are playing. UA is going to be fine with Alkins back - UA will lose 7 games this year, we are just used to losing 3 games in a row.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dustin25 Report post Posted December 11, 2017 This is what winning is like,ASU fans. Enjoy it now, it's not gonna last with a moron coach like hurley 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dustin25 Report post Posted December 11, 2017 I actually like seeing ASU do better by the way. It's good for pac12 and u of a as well. It's always been a free win and an almost guaranteed loss when teams come through Arizona, good to have another decent team here for a change. And, it'll make the rivalry fun again, hasn't been much of a rivalry, more a butt kicking for many many years 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flatlander Report post Posted December 11, 2017 Hey Dustin, Sendek was .500 against U of A, so check your math on all that guaranteed win BS. Also, tell us how it felt to have the biggest drop in rankings in the HISTORY of college basketball, #2 to Unranked in 1 week? Id like to hear more about that. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunDevil Report post Posted December 11, 2017 so funny to see zona fans rationalizing "their" teams failures and ASU success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dustin25 Report post Posted December 11, 2017 Since lute Olson took over at Arizona, the wildcats are 53-15 vs ASU. In that time frame, Arizona has won 15 conference championships and 6 conference tournaments. ASU has won a grand total of 0.NOTHIN.nada. aside from the disastrous couple years between lute Olson and Sean Miller, ASU has beaten Arizona 4 times...in 21 years! Hurley has never beaten Arizona. The list goes on and on. Who knows, maybe ASU will split the games with Arizona this year.theyre undeniably much improved from the bottom of the barrel we are all used to. But they're nowhere near the team or program of u of a, and only an ASU fan could think otherwise. And again,I hope they stay good, it makes things a lot more fun! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dustin25 Report post Posted December 11, 2017 I'm not rationalizing u of a failures. They BOMBED in the Bahamas. But,not the freshmen seem to have their heads straight, and alkins is back. Better watch out. If at the end of the season, ASU beats out arizona in the conference, I'll give credit where it's due. But,that's not gonna happen. Enjoy the winning while you can, might be another 40 years before you guys are competitive again 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flatlander Report post Posted December 11, 2017 Typical U of A, trying to dig up ancient history. Dustin, stick to your day job. Yes, I would like fries with that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted December 11, 2017 How cool would it be to actually have two contenders from AZ.......instead of being lumped in with the west weak elite???? I always root for U of A but dang that would be fun to have the level of game up instate!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunDevil Report post Posted December 11, 2017 so funny, except for this, except for that. blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!!! how about, my steer would be a bull except it doesn't have any balls. BAHAHAHAHA!!! as long as Hurley is the coach, ASU will be relevant in basketball. as long as R Rod is the coach, zona will be irrelevant in football. 42TO30!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daryl_s Report post Posted December 11, 2017 Just remember this, the best college basketball player ever in the state of Arizona came from ASU That's a hard pill to swallow for all the UA fans and their basketball tradition. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
