Not only did the team manage to put their best effort, they defeated the Don’s 104-65. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921840.html Maggie Walsh http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921840.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:07:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate As the 2009 regular season nears its close, Arizona State finds itself in “must-win” situations in both its remaining games to maintain any postseason hopes. This week’s opponent, UCLA, faces a similar task, and the Bruins, led by second year head coach Rick Neuheisel, have a team that has performed in similar fashions to ASU not just in the record column but also in style of play. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921836.html Joe Healey http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921836.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:44:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate With a 4:30 pm tip-off Coach Herb Sendek joked earlier in the week that Friday’s game against University of San Francisco was a “businessman special.” Well, business was good this afternoon at Wells Fargo Arena as the Sun Devils set a record high for points scored in the Sendek era, crushing the Dons 104-65 and not looking ahead towards a game with Duke. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921831.html DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921831.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:26:00 GMT 0 43 Arizona State arizonastate Devils Digest has learned that 6-7 207 Victor Rudd has been ruled eligible by the NCAA Clearinghouse today. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921762.html DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921762.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:20:00 GMT 0 43 Arizona State arizonastate Devils Digest invited its Sparky’s Huddle members to pose questions to BruinReportOnline.com Publisher Tracy Pierson, concerning the Sun Devils’ next opponent the UCLA Bruins. How pleased have the UCLA fans been with this season? How do those fans view the ASU program? How have the Bruins played on both sides of the ball? Pierson answers those questions and more in this article. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921621.html Tracy Pierson http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921621.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:07:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate Becca Tobin scored 14 points to lead 14th ranked Arizona State to an 82-46 rout of the Yale Bulldogs at Lee Amphitheater in New Haven, Connecticut. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921619.html Andrew Gruman http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921619.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:49:00 GMT 0 43 Arizona State arizonastate Sophomore Samson Szakacsy, who showed well in relief last week at Oregon, was officially named the starting signal caller by Head Coach Dennis Erickson following Thursday’s practice. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921618.html DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921618.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:45:00 GMT 0 43 Arizona State arizonastate ASU Head Coach Dennis Erickson hasn’t officially announced who his starting signal caller will be this weekend. Nonetheless, the quarterback hierarchy in terms of repetitions hasn’t changed from Tuesday. Thus, Samson Szakacsy continued to take snaps with the starters, while Danny Sullivan practiced with the second team. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921252.html DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921252.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:47:00 GMT 0 43 Arizona State arizonastate Keeping your official visits on hold because your team is in the playoffs is a good problem to have and that’s what Carson (Calif.) offensive lineman Wade Yandall is facing these days. The Sun Devils are one of Yandall’s suitors and Devils Digest caught up with him to get the latest on his recruitment. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921242.html DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/921242.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:32:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate Tuesday’s matchup between Arizona State and TCU proved to be an accurate testament of what we can expect from the 2009-10 Sun Devils. Adjusting to an offense free of James Harden and Jeff Pendergraph, ASU will rely heavily on their defense to win games. Doing just that against the Horned Frogs, ASU secured the win in the final seconds with a final score of 52-49. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/920903.html Maggie Walsh http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/920903.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:36:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate When previewing this year’s ASU’s team it was clear that it had an offense which would have to scrape and battle every game and that its defense will often have to carry them to victories. Tonight’s 52-49 win over TCU was a microcosm of that forecast. The Sun Devils used a 12-1 run in the last 3:54 of the game to advance to NIT semifinals and a meeting with Duke at Madison Square Garden. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/920894.html DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/920894.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:49:00 GMT 0 43 Arizona State arizonastate As practice came to a close on Tuesday, only one thing was on everyone’s mind, the quarterbacks…well except for Gerell Robinson who began yelling how Coach Erickson is guaranteeing a win this Saturday. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/920797.html Jon Kingston http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/920797.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:53:00 GMT 0 43 Arizona State arizonastate The Sun Devils pulled off another lopsided victory in an 84 to 62 win over Texas State Monday night in front of 5,457 at Wells Fargo Arena as part of ESPN’s 24-hours of basketball coverage. The Sun Devils now look ahead to a 9:30 tip off tomorrow night against the TCU Horned Frogs. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/920516.html Jon Kingston http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/920516.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:26:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate In a late night affair in Tempe the maroon and gold realized fairly quickly that they won’t be able to sleepwalk their way to victory against Texas State. Thanks to reserves Trent Lockett and Ty Abbott, ASU was finally able to break away late in the first half, en route to an 84-62 victory in the first round of the NIT Season Tip-Off at Wells Fargo Arena in front of 5,457 in attendance. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/920512.html DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/920512.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:15:00 GMT 0 43 Arizona State arizonastate With two games left in the season the pressure is on the Sun Devils to secure back to back wins which will ensure a 6-6 record. Despite four consecutive losses, and still uncertain of which quarterback will take the field this Saturday, Coach Dennis Erickson remains positive that his team will be ready for the challenge. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/920388.html Maggie Walsh http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/920388.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:33:00 GMT 0 43 Arizona State arizonastate It wasn’t a normal opener for the 16th ranked team in the country. This certainly was no push over. The Arizona State Sun Devils had a challenge on opening day and they passed with flying colors. They welcomed in a South Dakota State team that finished 32-3 last season and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament and returned the majority of its team. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/920061.html Andrew Gruman http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/920061.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 02:58:00 GMT 0 43 Arizona State arizonastate On Saturday night in Eugene, the expected happened as Oregon had little trouble with Arizona State, routing the Sun Devils 44-21. What was unforeseen was the extended playing time backup quarterback Samson Szakacsy saw, as he replaced first time starter Brock Osweiler who injured his forearm during the contest. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/919796.html DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/919796.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 07:21:00 GMT 0 43 Arizona State arizonastate There is nothing like signing a letter of intent with the hometown team. Just ask ASU’s 2010 signee Corey Hawkins. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/919491.html DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/919491.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 07:44:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate The 2009-10 ASU men’s basketball team came out to make a statement against the Western Illinois Leathernecks. Defeating the visitors 87-35, the maroon and gold were able to use their newcomers who gained many valuable minutes on the court, and along with the veterans showed a high degree of hustle on both ends of the floor. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/919485.html Maggie Walsh http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/919485.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 07:04:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate Albeit versus an inferior opponent, it was hard not to come away delighted from ASU’s 87-35 win over Western Illinois. This 52-point victory, in front of 8,992 in attendance at Wells Fargo Arena, is the highest one for the Sun Devils in the Herb Sendek era and the largest margin of any win since the 1996-97 season. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/919471.html DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/919471.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 06:01:00 GMT 0 43 Arizona State arizonastate
