team: arizona state sun devils
shockster 2015/2016 pac 12 prediction: 7th place
coach: bobby "off to the races" hurley
what you need to know about hurley: did you know that despite earning millions in the nba that bobby hurley squandered much of his life's savings & lost his family's horse estate because of financial mismanagement/non performing investments related to the ponies
i dunno maybe bobby can mentor his sun devils re: the fastest mudder in the 3rd race at belmont, the best books in jersey, the tightest slots in vegas & **** like that...when he tells his guys we're off to the races, he means it
what up in tempe?: the sun devils lose their best player shaqueille mckissic but return starters savon goodman (11.2 ppg & 7.6 rpg), gerry blakes (11.1 & 4.2 rpg), eric jacobson (8.3 ppg & 5.9 rpg), point guard tra holder (7.0 ppg & 3.6 apg) & a pair of female best friends forever
during bobby's 1st week on the job in tempe he met with an influential donor group of sun angels & promised them he wouldn't build the program with disgruntled transfers & junior college dudes with criminal records like herbie...hurley promised them he would make asu the duke of the west with guys that excel in the classroom
but then reality got in the way
bobby has already chased off 3 student athletes:
**chance murray
**connor macdougal
**sai tummala
hurley has talked his buffalo point guard torian graham to transfer to asu, signed a junior college big obinna oleka who was suspended at central florida college for "violation of team rules" & also signed maurice o'field from midland community college after running into academic problems at the harvard of the southeast, east tennessee state
bobby is also making a run at 5 star thon maker who intends to arrive at his selected college in january & then leave in march...maker isn't even a one & done, he's more like on the 10 week plan
gotta check with my current 1st wife kat (a sun devil) to see if you can even graduate from asu in 10 weeks, who knows...she got 2 economically worthless degrees (undergraduate & graduate school) from tempe which is the academic equivalent of passing astronomy 10 at cal
one thing is known, bobby is no coach k, but his starting 5 is gonna be multiple...that's a sure thing
no wonder asu is the #1 ranked college in the world for producing the most strippers (and mrs degrees who wanna date & marry guys with cal, stanford & ivy league degrees)
what this means for the bears: 2 challenging games vs asu this season but that's about it, the sun devils & the bears are recruiting guys with totally different academic profiles...asu fans are gonna eventually figure out that bobby is recruiting a bunch of dumb azzs just like herbie
asu is 11-7/1-4 with road wins at unlv & creighton along with a home victory over #18 ranked texas a&m, they are an athletic & dangerous team
the sun devils are led by explosive point guard 6'1" 180 lbs tra holder (16.2 ppg, 3.7 rpg & 3.3 apg), 6'4" 195 lbs gerry blakes (10.8 ppg with an abysmal 27.8% on 3 pointers along with 5.7 rpg), 6'7" 215 lbs willie atwood (10.6 ppg with 39.6% on 3 pointers along with 5.4 rpg), 6'6" 220 lbs savon goodman (10.3 ppg with 55.3% on fgs & 7.1 rpg) & 6'10" 240 lbs eric jacobsen (7.3 ppg & 5.4 rpg)
asu has jacked up more 3 pointers (408 attempts) than anybody else in the pac 12, cal has gotta contest those shots & not let them get easy looks and get into a rhythm...with long perimeter shots there are also usually long rebounds & the devils thrive on crashing the offensive boards...the bears gotta block out their guys, aggressively/cleanly clear the boards & look to push tempo on the break
both rabb & brown gotta post up strong and attack the basket & not settle for longer range shots and defend at a high level without any more dumb azz foul troubles, the problem isn't the refs it's your being out of position & then reaching/grabbing azz with your hands, knock that **** off now, ok?
let's do this
gameday at haas#
