Kevin O'Neill Can't Burst My Bubble

"He (James Harden) did a great job,'' Arizona interim head coach Kevin O'Neill said. "He initiates contact. The guy is going to be a high draft pick, if I were to guess. I thought our guys did a decent job on him a couple of times.''

Plant all the thoughts in Harden's head that you want O'Neill, but it still doesn't change the fact that we finally beat U of Tucson for the first time in 12 tries. This was a big monkey to get off the team's back and will hopefully go a long way in building some momentum for a program that has long underachieved.

I still see the Devils as a .500 team in conference when all is said and done this season, but who knows, maybe Harden is one of those special players this program has been waiting on for a long time that can carry the team to some unexpected heights.
