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.
