this guy gets it...
I'll admit you guys are probably tourney good but I wouldn't count on winning any games once you get there.
Love the backcourt this year.. Win a few of these OCC games and we should be a lock for the Tourney. Problem is, I don't see us going very far without a physical center. I don't care if he's 8' tall. Can't play like a bitch.
You dont think we will make it out the first round? Foolishness! Give us at least a round!

ASU has only won two tourney games in almost the last 20 years, and one in the last 10. You should know more than most about the difficulty in getting to March and winning a game. Again, no one is saying that ASU will not make the dance, and no one is saying that they won't win a game if they do make it to March. That would be setting up to put your foot in your mouth. All we are saying is that There are over 30 games to be played, with about 1/5 of those games against ranked teams, to decide whether or not it's going to happen. Saying that you will make it to March and win a game is at least as likely of eating crow. Last year ASU started 14-2 and 3-0 in the Pac. ASU fans were flat out calling for a shot at the Pac, and a ticket to dance. Then ASU finished 7-10 and 6-9 in the remaining Pac games. Take it game by game. The game in LV against UNLV will be a good marker. Then you have consecutive games against Marquette in Tempe, and Creighton in Fresno. Those will be even more telling. Regardless, The road games in the Pac will be the most important for the committee. @ UCLA, @ AZ, @ Stanford, @ Cal, @ Colorado, @ Oregon. These (plus the Pac tourney) are going to be the games that get you in or keep you out. If you at least break even, then the three games in the non-con will be looked at for seeding. No player on the team has beaten a ranked opponent while wearing an ASU jersey. I would wait for that to happen a couple/few times before starting talk about giving ASU a first-round win in March.
All I read was a bunch of coulda, shoulda, woulda. You're saying you would not only have beaten Syracuse in '09, but also Blake Griffin at his best???? You're lying to yourself. When will you learn that you need to let the winning do the talking for you. Win, and then you don't have to explain your losses.
Are you seriously trying to make a case against Miller's recruiting?
Again man, I just let the wins speak for themselves. In Miller's 4 years at AZ, he's had 3 consecutive top 10 recruiting classes, 3 consecutive 23+ win seasons (with one at 30 wins), an Elite Eight, a Sweet Sixteen, 5 tourney wins, with a Pac 10 Championship, and 3 draft picks with one picked at #2 overall, and another getting picked after his freshman year and he wasn't even a starter. And this year is primed to be his best yet. So we'll just see what happens.
Winning a tournament game isn't easy dude... especially when you're not a top seed. I said "don't count on winning a game in the tourney" I never said it was impossible.
