GAME REVIEW

Stanford 67, Arizona State 52

Washington 72, Arizona State 61

Washington State 56, Arizona State 55

GAME PREVIEW

at UCLA, Thursday, Jan. 31.

at USC, Saturday, Feb. 2.

at Arizona, Sunday, Feb. 10.

vs. Stanford, Thursday, Feb. 14.

IN FOCUS
The Sun Devils need to do something special on the road in Los Angeles to make sure all their good early-season work doesn't begin to unravel. They now have dropped three straight after being swept at home by the Washington schools, and they won't find the road any easier at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, where they have not won since 2003. Hard to imagine how they're going to slow down Bruins' freshman center Kevin Love.

ROSTER REPORT

-- Junior forward Jeff Pendergraph, who was leading the Pac-10 in field-goal accuracy until recently, is struggling. He totaled 15 points and 13 rebounds in two home games against the Washington schools, and has made only 9 of his 25 shots the past three games.

-- Freshman Ty Abbott bounced back from a 1-for-7 shooting performance against Washington to score 13 points in the loss to WSU.

-- Freshman James Harden has scored double-digits in 13 consecutive games, and has scored at least 16 points in 12 of those.

A conversation with Derek Glasser

 


Probably no one was more disappointed last season ended than Derek Glasser. The ASU point guard was a different player down the stretch. He pinned 16 points on both  Washington and USC in the Pac-10 Tournament, then poured in a career-best 22 on Temple in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. He finished with averages of 8.8 ...(more)

Harden goes 3rd to the Thunder

 


ASU's James Harden was selected third overall in the 2009 NBA draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder.

He is the first Sun Devil to be drafted since 2005 and just the eighth ASU player ever drafted in the first round.

In his two seasons at ASU, Harden (6-5, 222) was a two-time Pac-10 first-teamer. This past season, he was al ...(more)

Jeff Pendergraph has gone through eight cars since arriving at Arizona State - "all beaters," he said - probably from navigating a college basketball career filled with metaphorical potholes.

No one on ASU's basketball team appreciates its success this season more than the senior forward. For three seasons, he played the role of crash-test dummy until the Sun Devils found the ...(more)

Miller should have ASU fans worried

 Harden/Herb speculation

 

ASU fans should cheer for North Carolina this weekend. Perhaps then, UNC forward Tyler Hansbrough might cross paths with ASU sophomore James Harden and tell him that staying in college was the best decision he had ever made.

Harden told me Monday that he's considering returning for his junior season.  I pressed him on the issue, ...(more)

Sendek is hitting his stride

 

College basketball has a slimy side. In the dark corners of this wonderful sport, talent is peddled, coddled and recruited by men who negotiate better than they coach. Thankfully, Herb Sendek seems above this cesspool.

But now he must go out and sell his program. Hard.

Beginning next week, Sendek will embark on his own American ...(more)

They're everywhere, hanging out in gyms or interviewing coaches, equipment managers and academic advisers, hoping to land some background information that will help them score big in the upcoming draft.

Since finishing his ASU basketball career, Jeff Pendergraph has flown to New York to secure agent Charles Grantham, who also represents Suns star Amare Stoudemire. He has flown to Sacramento to lasso a financial manager.
