This weekend is a big one for Sun Devil basketball. The men are struggling through a three-game losing streak but could still finish third in the conference with a win over Cal (and some help). The women could win a share of their first conference crown since 2001 with a win over Stanford.

With that, we’ll get right to the links. If you haven’t been reading Echo from the Buttes this week, here’s what you’ve missed:

• We recapped a tumultuous career for Jeff Pendergraph and wondered about his place in ASU history
• We looked back at 100 wins – but no Pac-10 titles, yet – for The Incredibles of ASU women’s basketball
• We watched highlights of football’s first Class of 2010 recruit and assessed the future of the position
• And we broke down basketball’s chances of finishing third in the conference after a tough loss to Stanford

That’s all for now. Get ye to Wells Fargo Arena on Saturday. And be careful playing tailgate beer pong. You know, oral herpes. Go Devils!
