Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 3389768, member: 7748"] This will be an amazing weekend for women's basketball in Tempe. The two Oregon schools roll in and I'm very excited to see Kelly Graves and Scott Rueck's squads. Last year the Sun Devils had success when playing Oregon State. Unfortunately this year the matchups don't hold out much hope against either Oregon or Oregon State. For ASU to achieve upsets this weekend: ASU seniors Both Jamie Ruden and Robbi Ryan are on minutes watch due to recovery from injury. Both of them would have to have exceptional games for ASU to achieve an upset. Moreover Reilli Richardson would have to uncharacteristically take and make three-pointers. Defense For the first three quarters of the Southern Cal game ASU's defense demonstrated the intensity and high-energy of previous years. While the fourth quarter fall off was concerning if the defense can play with that kind of intensity for 40 minutes we can certainly cause problems for any offense. The fans For the life of me I can't understand why fans don't turn out to support CTTs team. As I said in an earlier thread when we played our rivalry game against the Wildcats at home there were more Tucson fans dressed in red and screaming than Sun Devil fans. If by some miracle we could fill Desert Financial Arena with a Gold out and support the team I know that would help. While I'm not optimistic about turn out, I would expect less than four thousand for each game, one can always hope. Help from UArizona We could also hope that Oregon State endures a quadruple overtime game against the Wildcats down in Tucson which would help exhaust them. I remember CTT talking about the ascendant Wildcat program last year saying it definitely is a help to have another challenging game in Arizona when the Pac-12 rolls through. I think the Wildcats could really help us by giving Oregon State a long tough game. Regardless of the score I know that the Sun Devils will work hard. I know I'm grateful to have an opportunity to see The best of the Pac in Tempe this weekend. First up Oregon at 6 p.m. Friday and then an afternoon game against the Beavers Sunday. [/QUOTE]
