OK, I've counted 3 times that ASU has stepped out of bounds on the baseline

none called. And of course Tunks missed the dunk

I think if we win out we are on the bubble

I am not confident we will beat Oregon at home. OSU will be tough too

by clbuff28 on Feb 11, 2012 6:26 PM MST up reply actions

I'm not saying we will win out....

But what if we do? Stranger things have happened (although I think it is very unlikely, but possible). That will probably mean we win the regular season conf title. If we then win 2 games in the tourney and then lose the championship game. There will probably be 2 PAC 12 teams in, so we would have a chance without winning the conf tourney. Do I think that will happen? NO……….but just saying’.
