Great game by Mc-Lovin...hopefully Derek will be back for Thursday against UCLA. We will need him bad for that one.

Glasser will be back on Thursday but, after McMillan's great effort in our last game, hopefully we don't push Glasser too hard. UCLA is an important game, but not as important as the Pac tourney, and the NCAA's...BTW whenever anybody named mao continues to hate on any ASU player, then usually it's a sign that the kid is pretty good...

FYI UCLA is coming into this game redhot, but beat up.

Drew Gordon is questionable with back spasms, has not been practicing although he says he'll play if they let him. Malcolm Lee has a sprained ankle.

And now there's a report that both Collison and Dragovic have the flu but are expected to start.

Looking forward to this one...great game the first time. ASU is up and down these days, and equally beat up. Hopefully the home crowd is a factor.

Can we ALL quote your stupid observation?
Just you bud. McMillan is now after the Oregon games is shooting 33% from 3pt range and less than 40 from the field. Having a good game and being a good player are two completely different things. I'd like somebody to explain to me how a guy averaging 4/2/2 and and is 94th in the Pac-10 in shooting percentage is considered a good player. Even Gaddabout on this very thread has said ASU's backcourt leaves a lot to be desired.

I'm planning my night around it. Notre Dame vs Louisvillle at 5 PM then ASU vs ucla at 7 PM and quick peeks at UA vs USC.

Big game tonight...could be momentum towards a top 3 seed in the tourney, or a reality check. Why torture yourself with ND? Amazing that they were a top ten team.

HUGE game tonight. ASU will need a big game from somebody other than Pendergraph and Harden. Looks like Glasser will start and hopefully Mc-Lovin still has shooting touch from the OSU game. Rihards looks like he is good to go as well. Let's go Devils!!!

I despise UCLA. Did I ever post that before? If we beat them here tonight, Sendek and ASU will jolt some tournament selectors' attention even more.

Looks like Gordon and Collison are good to go, no word on Drago but I assume he's playing.

Should be good, UCLA is redhot but all against man defense.

Holy crap who snuck Dave Libbey's crew in there to ref? ASU got called for 1 foul in the first 15 minutes, UCLA had 8, including the play where Harden grabbed Shipp's jersey on the way downcourt, Josh retaliated, and they not only called the foul on Shipp, they stopped a fast break UCLA had going.

ASU is on fire, gotta hope those shots stop going down or it's going to be tough to win.

wow I guess that charge on DC was a makeup for them not calling the hook as he went by? harden does that hook and off arm all game so if they'd called it on DC I'd have been pretty surprised. UCLA didn't get a single charge in this game and the one they call against UCLA was just a horrible call, should have been UCLA up 1 with DC shooting a FT.

Hats off to Harden, he punked Jrue Holiday, just ate him up, Howland had to put Jrue on Abbott and put Shipp on Harden. Great player, anybody who thinks Jrue Holiday is a top 5 pick should watch this game, he can't score unless it's in transition or off offensive boards.

Brand new Pac 10 race again.

i remember Syracuse beatin notre dame around in basketball, and FOOTBALL. ahahhaah, have fun with your "great" recruiting class again,, maybe a top 20 ranking, perhaps another ESPN mag cover like clausen, and making some sorry bowl game only because Notre Dame is "america's team".
