Oregon St @ Arizona St - 1/12/20

[Blueberries]

explain technical situation please? reading the play by play on ESPN here

the way it reads is that 5 fouls were handed out all at the 2:09 mark....

 

[Lorcan]

It wasn’t. it was a double foul.

I was just aghast when they called it a technical at first, I'm still not sure I see the double foul, but whatever.

 

[Blueberries]

another double foul at 40 seconds?

Essentially, Mikayla Pivec made to run back towards the other end of the floor, but Ryan had turned around to partake in the Sun Devils full-court press, and Pivec ran into Ryan and shoved her. I'll admit that Ryan was being aggressive with her defense, but there was no foul.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Pivec missed a pair of FTs. I made a really, really good decision not watching this **** show.

Good weekend for ASU. Baylor will and should be ranked #1.

 

[Bayloralum]

If Arizona state can pull the upset again, they’ll have the biggest jump in the AP poll! PAC 12 is so unpredictable! Crazy that teams 1-3 falls! So South Carolina and Baylor the new 1 and 2 teams?

 

[Blueberries]

so with 1,2,3 going down this week..... will be interesting to see how things shake out....

 

[Shades]

Well they haven't won. Down 2 again.

I object that they’re even in this game. They scored only 14 pts in the first half.

But it looks like I put the jinx on them. They haven’t scored since I objected. Sorry about that.

Should be assuming SC wins today. ASU is legit.

 

[Plebe]

I quit at 11-4. 2-14 FG in Q1, twice as many TOs as made shots. Pathetic effort Beavs.

You really have a pattern of giving up early on your team, huh?

They are! Good week for them!

Cori Close should send Arizona State a bouquet of flowers. This makes their march to the conference title that much easier.

Fantastic weekend for the Sun Devils. I wish someone knew the last time the Oregon Schools were swept. I know Stanford managed it in 2018, so not tooo long ago.

 

[Blueberries]

so 2 and 3 both go down to the same unranked team in the same week..... strange. that's gotta be a stat that has never happened before.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I regret nothing

They always come back after about a 20 minute break.

Lol

 

[sivad40]

I wonder who was the last team to be the number 2 and 3 ranked team the same week in the regular season?

 

[Plebe]

That's gotta be the best back-to-back games by ASU in program history.

I'm actually not shocked that they could play competitively with both teams. Their performance at UCLA showed they were trending upward, and great defense is a great equalizer.

If anything completely shocked me, it was their 30-point explosion in the 4th quarter to beat Oregon. That type of offensive output is so uncharacteristic of the often offensively challenged Sun Devils.

While I didn't get to see this game, just glancing at the score I can say this was a much more typical ASU grindfest.

 

[Mulder]

The Ducks and The Beavers are over rated!

 

[Plebe]

The Ducks and The Beavers are over rated!

Or perhaps ASU is underrated and/or greatly improved from earlier in the season.

 

[Lucelab113]

The Ducks and The Beavers are over rated!

I kinda thought the same thing watching them? Baylor is the best. I'm not too surprised by OSU because they usually lack the scoring needed but Oregon should be better. They look sluggish to me.

And how! What an unbelievable weekend in Tempe. Congrats to CTT and the entire team for magnificent set of back-to-back defensive performances.

 

[DanishBulldog]

Magical weekend for ASU. Congrats.

ASU has improved as much as they have because of the all the info Courtney Eckmark (?) brought over from UConn.
