Glasser’s play has been worth at least one or two wins this year, all-in-all. He has been superb of late, helping beat some tough teams in some really close games.

The way I see, Harden and Pendergraph are both terrific and extremely consistent (JP’s foul trouble aside). The addition of a point guard who’s a plus (even McMillan’s looked good in his stead) has made us at least as good as any other PAC-10 team. If Abbott or Kuksiks can become a reliable outside shooter, this team is on to the Regionals, possibly further.

Unless, of course, a hot-shooting team from a minor conference keeps hitting from 21′ and the team refuses to switch to man defense, but let’s not go there…

One, i never said we were a bubble team, the so called experts did. ASU had one bad week and everyone said ASU was showing their true colors. Fact is, we lost to WSU because 1 player was on fire for them and couldnt miss a shot. We lost to UW because of the refs.

What i ment was we have a perfect team when we are playing our style of basketball… a good offense with a good defense.

A perfect team? Wow, how quickly things change — 2 weeks ago and people were feeling like we were on the bubble. I don’t know that I’d go that far quite yet, but it was good to see the Devils put back-to-back good games together and come out with a pair of W’s, especially after the debacle against the Washington schools last month. Hopefully they can finish well and be in position to make some noise in the dance.

With the pick-n-roll working as well as it did last night, and with James Harden being able to do whatever he wants with the ball when he needs too, ASU is looking really dangerous. If Kuks or Abbott can start making 3s like Kuks did the beginning of this year and Ty like last year, a deep run will almost be certain in the tourney. Not to mention the zone d that teams cant figure otu. Wow, this is almost a perfect team

Finally the EftB is giving Glasser the credit he deserves! I think Harden said it best- Glasser isn’t flashy and he isn’t gonna be the main play maker, but I feel like in the past he has helped set up the big plays and this season he has proved to be integral to the big plays. He sets them up and Pendergraph knocks them down!
