This once again is a HUUUUUGE game for the Sun Devils, at stake first place in PAC-10 with Cal losing on Thursday.

Tucson is not an easy place to win, but this game is a MUST for the Devils if they want a legit chance at an at large bid for the tournament.

Since the debacle in Tempe, UofA is 3-3, including a big win against Cal, the Devils are 4-2, including coming up just short against Cal.

Should be a lot of fun, I think the Devils a have a sense of urgency, but at this point the Cats are playing for pride, and that could be dangerous...

It wasn't the foul on the layup that caused the confrontation. It was the immature shove in the back after the play that was a thug move so that shirt makes no sense.

The hard foul is what got him kicked out. People blow the shove out of proportion. The shove was incidental at best. Even so, Id be more irate about getting fouled in the head than shoved in the back. Bitch about the hard foul, but not the shove. Parrom got kicked out so in ASU land, he got what he deserved. My question is why Abbot was not given a technical for bumping Parrom. But Abbot's tail went between his legs the rest of the game, so I guess it worked itself out.

Watch the play again and listen to the announcers.

As for the shirt; KP3's motto is "no easy buckets." He has become a very solid defender for us.

Should be a good game nonetheless. ASU wants retribution for being thoroughly embarrassed on their own court

THis game can go either way. Both teams have been incosistent at best with ASU a slight bit better. Regardless I see pay back in the future. I see ASU winning by double digits. Its a bold prediction but I stand by it. GO DEVILS!!!!!!!!

Since you called it a "bold" prediction, I figured I'd put it in bold for you so we can point it out after the game ;)

I don't see how either team wins by double digits this time around. Neither of us are really beating people up. I'd give us a ringing endorsement but after the goose egg we laid against OSU at home, I can't predict which team will come out.

What a risk taker! I am sure you are basing that prediction on a fun filled Friday night of free basing white-out, eh?

If you are not very good, there really are no easy baskets. And you end up with a .500 record. :)

It's hard to say, neither team is any good. Arizona is having some internal issues, whereas ASU has shown themselves to be pretty soft. Arizona has home court yet ASU is more experienced and focused. I have no clue what to expect - my gut says ASU wins by a handful.

Well I am here to take my lumps. ASU completely outplayed us in the last ten minutes and Abbott was ridiculous through out.'

Pretty good game, sucky outcome.
