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?
 
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.
 
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.

Lol
 
I wonder who was the last team to be the number 2 and 3 ranked team the same week in the regular season?
 
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.
 
The Ducks and The Beavers are over rated!

And how! What an unbelievable weekend in Tempe. Congrats to CTT and the entire team for magnificent set of back-to-back defensive performances.
 
ASU has improved as much as they have because of the all the info Courtney Eckmark (?) brought over from UConn.;)

Did they have Ruden in their earlier losses? She is a big piece for them. I know she is limited most of the time.

I think Ruden and Ryan both were missing or limited most of the season.

Anyone else remember all those comments about how voters must have confused Arizona and Arizona St. in the polls earlier in the season? :rolleyes:

OK I admit I agreed but in hindsight ...
 
ASU has now beaten OSU 4 straight over parts of 3 different seasons. CTT seems to have Rueck's number.

Arizona did beat them in Tempe to start the Pac 12 schedule, but that seems like eons ago.

Didn't play in the losses to Minnesota and Purdue. She played a season-high 18 minutes in both games this weekend.

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.;)

Oregon State did not finish well at the end which is surprising considering they are such a well coached team. There last three offensive sets were awful.

Pivec was awful as well. Two missed FTs and then two awful turnovers. Robbi Ryan was all in her head.

Jamie missed the first eight games of the season with a combination of injuries. She had a foot injury that had her in a boot and she's battled a back issue throughout her career at ASU. I think in a previous thread I mentioned that both she and Robbi Ryan are on minutes watch.

Earlier in the year Robbi Ryan missed a single game due to an ongoing foot issue. Kiki Russell missed games earlier in the year and the Oregon game.

In the presser after today's game CTT was talking about her team's performance and in that discussion she talked about how earlier in the year injuries really played a huge part in the quality of the Sun Devil play.

This is also a relatively young team and a new member Tapley who's a key part is a grad transfer from USC. That's said it certainly took a while for the team to come together.

This weekend we were treated to see vintage ASU high-energy defense.

The Beavers are in position to claim the country's top ranking with a win over the Sun Devils

From the above story:

"Arizona State didn’t allow the Beavers to get many clean shots, often forcing desperation chances with the shot clock expiring. The result was that Oregon State missed 16 consecutive shots and went more than 11 minutes without scoring."
