ASU wins big over the Washington schools

ASU completed the sweep of the Washington schools on Sunday, just in time for everyone to go home and watch the Cardinals beat the Packers 51-45 in OT in the NFC Wildcard match-up.
ASU is currently 2-2 in the PAC-10, and 12-5 overall. I believe that ASU will need to finish with a 12-6 PAC-10 record 22-11 overall, if they are to lace up their dancing shoes in March. A 10-4 finish to the season is very possible. IF not, then a few wins in the conference tournament will be necessary. 22 wins is the magic number, otherwise Not-In-Tournament is where we will be heading.

Freshman Updates:
- Ruslan Pateev is showing a lot of promise as he has been playing really well, recently.
- Victor Rudd hasn't seen much action lately, but has recently been quoted as saying "when i say jump, you say how high"
- Trent Locket continues his great play, and had a nasty dunk over some helpless fool on Wash. St.
- D. Walker has shown flashes of he great ability in previous games, but saw little action vs. Washington or Wash. St.
- B. Thompson has seen little action all season, but is said to have the greatest shot on the team (Even better than Kuksiks?...Hard to believe that it is possible, but YES). This kid could be really good in the future.

2 quick videos of ASU recruits for next year

http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=49761123533&h=yUan9&u=ueoJP

http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=137583335432&h=5Ic-3&u=Fd4aZ

The first video is of Trent Locket. He is a 6'5, 4-star recruit out of Minnesota. Scouts say that he is gonna be really good. He has a similar game to James Harden, except right handed. He has great athleticism, a great 3 point shooter, and can make plays for others. He will likely start at Small Forward next year for the Sun Devils.
The second video is of Demetrius Walker. He is a 6'4, 3-star recruit who attends Saint Mary's High School in Phoenix, Arizona. Heading into his high school career, he was touted as the next Lebron James. He has a lot of skill and awesome athletisism, but his shot is only average. He will likely start at Shooting Gaurd next year for the Sun Devils.

ASU's basketball future looks bright. It is nice to know that even after the James Harden era, we will still have a good squad. Devils 4 life!!

sweet photos from the ASU vs. UofA game







all pictures found at espn.com

HA!! take that UofA. GO DEVILS!! we are sooooo good. Kuksiks was cluth, and Harden is, by far, the greatest player that's ever played college basketball. If Harden isn't named NCAA player of the year it will be an outrage. After this win, it is clear that ASU is a final four contender. It's march madness baby!!!!!!

Rihards Kuksiks: best shooter in the nation?


The answer to the question is, of course, HELL YES. Rihards Kuksiks is the VERY BEST shooter in the nation, hands down! Anyone who thinks otherwise is just plain ignorant.....and an asshole. Arizona State forward Rihards Kuksiks is currently averaging 47.4% from the 3 point line. Kuksiks makes 2.6 out of 5.5 three pointers per game. This average statistically qualifies him as the 3rd best three point shooter in the nation. He can hit his shot from anywhere on the floor. Whenever I see Kuksiks put the shot up, I expect him to sink it everytime, and I am suprised if it doesn't go in. He is a big reason I think ASU will go deep into the NCAA tournament. Don't fuck with Kuksiks, or he'll fuck your shit up. LATVIA!!!!!!!
