Big game vs Washington tonight at 9pm.

Big time game tonight! ASU is a 4 point dog on the road (I wouldn't touch it unless my life depended on it). This is going to be a highly competitive, physical, and aggressive game. Pendy needs to keep his emotions in check and Harden needs to do what he does...be patient and wait for the game to come to him. I think if Kuks and and the rest of the crew (McLovin, Glasser, and Ty) show up the way they did against UA, ASU wins. GO DEVILS!!

terrible call on harden for his 5th. terrible

welcome to a Dave Libbey officiated game at UW. that was a ridiculous call, Dentmon jumped in, threw his hip out to make contact, and harden just had his hands up and blocked the shot. the funny thing was the announcer saying "no disagreement from harden on the call." you could read his lips he said 4 times "that was a clean block."

I didn't see most of the game was watching the ugly UCLA win, but that call doesn't surprise me at all nor does the 31 to 13 FT advantage for UW, it's been that way all year for them at home.

Thank you...once again showing why PAC 10 officiating is a complete joke. They get affected by a home crowd like a 15 year old umping a little league game. Washington was super aggressive and hacking all night, to call the fifth foul on the best player in the game when Dentmon clearly jumped into him, it's just total crap. The announcers must have been on the Washington payroll as well.

We had some bad luck on shots and rebounded terribly, but still had an excellent chance to put this one away a couple of times. I'd love another shot at them in the Pac tourney.

The 5th on Harden was a bad call, but ASU lost that game in the first ten minutes. They were way to nonchalant with the ball and seemed surprised by Washington's speed. All those sloppy turnovers led to Washington running it up on them early. When you dig yourself a 14 or 16 point hole, on the road, against a good team you are going to win very, very few of those games.

I agree with you. Blaming the refs is a copout when we played so very badly at the start.

 

[PoolBoy]

im not blaming the refs. make no mistake. we match up so poorly with UW. but to lose harden and pendergraph on questionable 5th calls hurt.

 

[Mr. Boldin]

Pac-10 officials determined the last two Pac-10 champs late in the season.

As much as I hate ASU, that call on Harden was terrible and of course Libbey finds a way to subtract ASU's 2 best players from the equation at the end of the game.

 

[Shzm13]

Harden makes 3 FTs to send WAZZU into OT

 

[mojorizen7]

OT! Harden with the clutch trifecta of FT's with 2 seconds left in regulation to tie it up....wow.

 

[PoolBoy]

craziest free throws ever. that was so hard to watch.

 

[PoolBoy]

well why not another bs call to foul out harden?

 

[mojorizen7]

HowTF can the zebras foul out Harden on that kind of call?!

[PoolBoy]

wow. no foul called down on pendergraph, and then rochestie hits like a half court to win.

 

[Shzm13]

Crappy way to lose.

 

[Russ Smith]

WSU has now beaten UCLA, UA and ASU in a row.

Not sure what to make of the Pac 10, UW is going to win it largely because they shoot 35 FT's a game at home. UCLA and ASU both blew chances by losing to WSU.

Winner of UCLA and Cal is in 2nd all alone.

Tourney should be interesting, it's not played at UW so I am not expecting them to win it.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Two tough losses in a row...hopefully the Devils can put them behind them, and more on.

 

[Skkorpion]

Visitors sure have trouble winning in the state of Washington.
