so far, they're beating the teams they should beat and they've lost to the only good team they've played. quite a change from last year, when they lost to Pepperdine, Northern Arizona, Fairfield, and Fresno State

nationally top-50 in ppg, apg, and rpg. this time last year, they were 200th or higher in ppg and rpg

12/2/2012 10:11:53 AM

Interesting. If he had scrapped that goddamn shitty Princeton offense 8 years ago, he might still be here.

12/2/2012 10:32:51 AM

he's never had a PG like Carson in his 20 years as a head coach. you have to play with what personnel you have, and now he finally has a lightning-fast PG.

hopefully this new high scoring offense -- shooting within the first 10 seconds of the shot clock and run fast breaks as often as possible -- will open up opportunities for more recruits like Carson

12/2/2012 10:38:25 AM

7-1 (only the 5th time in the past 35 years they've started 7-1)

Hartford made 12 threes. ASU missed 12 free throws

ugly win. could have been a blowout

12/5/2012 10:28:48 PM

Bachynski with the first triple double in school history

11 points, 11 rebounds, 11 blocks

(and it's only halfway through the 2nd half)

12/8/2012 3:32:31 PM

whipped by DePaul tonight, 78-61

Carson played his worst game as a Sun Devil

team missed 11 more free throws and only shot 20% from three

went into the game as #32 in RPI and #30 nationally in scoring. expect both of those to drop significantly

12/12/2012 11:04:04 PM

Ouch.

(post streak broken)

12/12/2012 11:05:49 PM

ASU is not good by any means, but they're much better than they played tonight

in related news, DePaul is better than 13th in the Big East, as predicted preseason

12/12/2012 11:07:29 PM

Yeah, Purnell is too good a coach to have them in the shitter every year.

12/12/2012 11:15:06 PM

DePaul is terrible. Having the unfortunate experience of seeing them in person get dominated by Gardner Webb would lead me to this

12/12/2012 11:24:46 PM

The same Gardner-Webb that lost on a buzzer beater @ #10 Illinois

12/12/2012 11:34:10 PM

yes, the same one that Belmont beat by like 40 and Wofford beat by 12

12/12/2012 11:34:58 PM

we must be thinking of different Belmonts

12/12/2012 11:37:24 PM

sorry i was wrong, they lost to Lipscomb who lost to belmont by 40

12/12/2012 11:39:30 PM

Ssly as ling as youve been following herb you'd have to be used to these complete shit the bed games

12/12/2012 11:48:48 PM

9-2

poor effort today, but still managed a 19 point win

12/15/2012 7:29:31 PM

10-2

poor effort today, but still managed a win against the Big 12

12/22/2012 3:57:17 PM

do you only bump this thread during NCSU games?

12/22/2012 4:15:10 PM

Herb scheduled games in such a way that they'd end during State game halftimes

12/22/2012 4:17:02 PM

Pretty laughable schedule so far

12/22/2012 6:01:31 PM

incredibly laughable, but, at least they'll head into conference play at 11-2

anything's possible after that

12/22/2012 7:11:12 PM

Pac12 is supersoft this year, so they have a shot

12/22/2012 7:36:17 PM

"poor effort" seems to be a theme here.

12/29/2012 1:58:58 PM

I'm sure today will be another poor effort

and because of the ASU bowl game, there might be 200 fans instead of the usual 500

12/29/2012 2:05:24 PM

Also, mini me Herb, wtf?



Also, this is probably at halftime during a game. Look at that crowd!

[Edited on December 29, 2012 at 2:06 PM. Reason : k]

12/29/2012 2:05:27 PM

off to a poor start. down 9-8 with 15 min left in the first

12/29/2012 2:12:30 PM

lmao. Don't sleep on Coppin State!

[Edited on December 29, 2012 at 2:32 PM. Reason : LEMME COP DAT STATE RIGHT QUICK]

12/29/2012 2:32:25 PM

up 37-26 at the half

11 assists on 12 made shots. Herb is happy

Carson on pace for a triple double with 6 first half rebounds and 6 assists

12/29/2012 2:51:11 PM

12/29/2012 2:56:08 PM

I don't understand the microphone

12/29/2012 3:00:27 PM

good 16-point win. final score not indicative of how overmatched Coppin State was throughout the game

Carson lead all players in scoring, rebounding, assists, and steals with 15/8/7/2

11-2 OOC record. first PAC12 game against lowly Utah on Wednesday

12/29/2012 3:46:43 PM

Dude give it up, this team sucks. They won't even go .500 in conference play.

12/29/2012 4:09:56 PM

I didn't make the thread, I'm just contributing to it

12/29/2012 4:23:36 PM

hahahahaha. that's the spirit!

12/29/2012 5:10:14 PM

What is the AD situation like at ASU? Did they recently go through a change?

It's a shame that Herb was hired to potentially generate interest in the basketball program there, but it's clearly not happening. Not sure what the AD that hired him was thinking.

12/30/2012 12:00:58 PM

Big conference game tomorrow against Utah. I'm predicting a solid effort, but a loss.

1/2/2013 12:31:04 AM

are you looking forward to the Jordan versus Dallin matchup? should be fun to watch 14+ feet battling down low

1/2/2013 6:58:29 AM

How does a 5'11" pg lead the team in rebounds over a 7-footer?? Even if just for a game.

1/2/2013 8:33:48 AM

It's a Herb team right? So four teammates are outside the 3 point arc when a shot is taken. Guess that 7 footer was one of the four.

1/2/2013 9:34:57 AM

I enjoy this thread. Without it, I wouldn't remember to ever check on how Herb was doing. Also I've enjoyed learning that ASU fans are horrible.

1/2/2013 4:49:33 PM

^^^ Bachynski only played 23 min, while Carson played 35. Also, there were a combined 61 threes attempted, and we all know that long shots beget long rebounds

^^ new system this year...and not the usual "we're playing fast-paced" BS that Herb usually spits. He's actually running and there's not as much halfcourt offense. Plus, I've watched every game thus far, and I've only seen TWO shot clock violations!

^ damn, they're horrible. yes, the OOC schedule was soft, but they're pissed about an 11-2 record and a legit shot at making some sort of postseason tournament. They'd rather be 2-11 but have played only the Big Six conferences

1/2/2013 5:57:53 PM

Nobody puts Herbie in the corner.

you mean herb's offense? you're right, it's not working

when does arizona state play northwestern in basketball on the same day nc state plays somebody? cant wait for ncstatetke's head to explode while not caring about the wolfpack

1/2/2013 11:06:17 PM

Does that Seacat dude still play for Northwestern?
