Neither one is ranked, I think... Well, Xavier might be. Still, they're piggy backing on what Washington did earlier this week against Kansas.

 

Xavier is #12. Point is that piggyback or not. ASU will probably be in the top 10 and undefeated. For alumni this is great for us.

When was the last time that ASU vs UA was the matchup of the weekend? Never, this is bizzaro world happening. Plus with the fact that ASU is #3. I hope the train keeps rolling and we defeat the kitties

Of course it has to be on PAC 12 network so the biggest game of the weekend won’t reach everybody.

I thought Oklahoma/TCU was the matchup of the weekend as Trae Young is so far the PoY.

Well that kinda sucks. Rough two days for ASU sports. Losing to those clowns from down south is never fun, but if you told me ASU's first loss of the season was going to be the conference opener on December 30th in a close game against Truckstop Community College, I'd take it.

2018 starts with no undefeated Division 1 team.

 

The last three unbeaten teams each lost on Saturday: Villanova, TCU, ASU

 

WVU hasn't lost in North America, that should count for something.....or not.

FWIW, the NCAA Basketball Selection Committee released their top 16 teams this morning, before Purdue@MSU and was likely done before VaTech winning at UVa.

Per bracketing rules, it would look like this:

South (Atlanta): (1) Virginia, (2) Cincinnati, (3) Michigan St., (4) Tennessee


East (Boston): (1) Villanova, (2) Duke, (3) Texas Tech, (4) Ohio State


Midwest (Omaha): (1) Xavier, (2) Auburn, (3) Clemson, (4) Oklahoma


West (Los Angeles): (1) Purdue, (2) Kansas, (3) North Carolina, (4) Arizona

Arizona's Sean Miller must be sweating through whatever he's wearing right now...

 

Quote

FBI wiretaps intercepted telephone conversations between Arizona coach Sean Miller and Christian Dawkins, a key figure in the FBI's investigation into college basketball corruption, in which Miller discussed paying $100,000 to ensure star freshman Deandre Ayton signed with the Wildcats, sources familiar with the government's evidence told ESPN.

If he fired with cause, he'll actually make $5M MORE than if he is fired w/o cause. Miller would owe them $300K for what is likely to be a NCAA violation.

 

Alabama may want to look at the contacts which AD Greg Byrne has approved to see what is in fine print since he pulled this one out while in Tucson.

 

Miller can cash out some mining stock too.

As a Sun Devil alum, this makes me smile.

The biggest winner from the weekend's news is still Pitt's Kevin Stallings*.

https://sports.yahoo.com/pitt-played-one-worst-halves-basketball-ever-230616959.html

 

Quote

The Panthers went into the half trailing 30-7. Yes, Pitt scored only seven points in 20 minutes of action.

 

During that span, the Panthers mustered just one made field goal for the entire half. They were 1-of-22 (0/9 from two, 1/13 from three) from the field with that lone bucket coming in the form of a Jared Wilson-Frame 3-pointer. That’s a sizzling 4.5 percent from the field. The team’s other four points came from the free-throw line.

 

Pitt’s first-half field goal percentage is the worst in program history while the seven points, surprisingly, is third-worst overall, but the worst for the Panthers in the shot clock era.

 

Pitt is now 0-17 in the ACC.

 

*-Kevin Stallings is also indirectly tied to the FBI probe
