Early? What defines early? AZ hasn't lost in the first round since 2009, and has gone 11-5 in the dance since. It's also only the second time (save #2 AZ losing to #1 Wisky two years ago) that Miller has ever lost to a lower seed.

So based on all of that, my question is: when hasn't ASU shot their wad early?

That's right, that's all they've ever done, except then they have no wad to shoot.

Seriously I thought having one "Tinkle" was enough, and then it turns out he has offspring. Tuning into a basketball game where the word "Tinkle" is thrown about aimlessly is painful.

W/o Tinkle's kid playing, we lost 17 pts per and 8 rebbies a game. Two years and the Beavz will dominate the PAC12. Eat it and weep or tinkle, whichever you prefer.
Tinkle is a good coach so he will keep the Beavers afloat but he also needs some higher profile recruits to take the next step.

Last time you said "next year" so which is it? Let me guess, you just realized the recruiting class Sean Miller has coming in and understand there's no chance you will beat us next year, right?

Hate to break it to you, but the '17 recruiting class will have you saying "wait till' 18!"

It's a never ending cycle for your Beavers, and tinkle will get a better job once his son leaves since he is a great coach

All in all, I'm happy with USC's season. Losing on a last second shot like they did against Providence sucks. But considering they were picked to finish 10th in the PAC and nowhere near the tournament...I'll take it and actually be excited for next season.

Your entire team basically returns, correct?

How about my Lady Sun Devils? #2 seed and looking pretty good against TENN.

I have read time and time again you guys stating you expect to go deep.
Talk all year and you should have saved your wad at least to the 16 with that highly touted lineup and coaching staff. I am not talking about ASU right now. Admit it, you blew it.

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find one from me that said we would do much better this season than we did. And if I did, it was based on us finding a leader, settling into new roles, and developing chemistry (which I have always felt would be the biggest question).

I've already explained this with quoted posts going back to December (about the Pac schedule), and October (going back to pre-season). Hell, I even said the same thing back in May. I clearly have not said time and time again, all year, that we would have a great team and go deep. We had a good line up (not great), and the depth (which I was high on) took hits with all the injuries, and Pitts leaving.

I'm not gong to say that I expected us to lose in the first round, but that's March, and even though we didn't show up, take nothing away from WSU. I think we can all agree that they shouldn't have been an 11 seed.

You're pulling shit out of your ass again, and I'm annoyed at myself for even thinking that I have to justify anything to an ASU fan.

You are off the hook CTP
