Two steps back


Not even going to give the Sun Devils hoopsters credit for taking one forward with their previous wins over UCLA and Tucson. Regardless of whether or not they have Superbowl fever, you just dont lose at home if you are truly a Top 15 team, much less lose by 10. Apparently entering the week as the top-ranked team in the Pac-10 was too much for the Herbivores to handle.

I didnt get to watch the game last night as Fox Sports chose to show a team from Tucson that had lost three Pac-10 games in a row and barely beat some scrubs from University of Houston recently. Apparently Washington State (who I now believe is probably the best team in the country) has some freshman son of a former NBAer that dropped 28 points on the Devils. The Devils have a sophomore who has a dad that played AND now coaches in the NBA as well as the best player in the country this side of Hansborough. Doesn't that automatically make the Devils better on paper?
Please drop-kick the doggies from Washington on Saturday and prove to me Devils that you are not a paper tiger.
