The ASU File Expanded to 10 Teams in 1978-79 SUN DEVIL 2008-09 OUTLOOK SUN DEVIL 2008-09 OUTLOOK year ago in this very space, it was talked about how the Arizona State men’s basketball team came close in a bunch of games in 2006-07, stayed strong during a long losing streak with Agood, but young, leadership, played a bunch of freshmen, upset a team or two and built for the future with a first-year head coach as it was finding the funds and space to build a cutting-edge practice facility. The student section was teased a bit and rushed the court once and showed a tendency to get loud. A new theme is needed. Those close losses in 2006-2007 (a 4-17 record in games decided by 10 points or less) evolved into head-turning wins in 2007-2008 (7-4, including three over NCAA Tournament teams). That young leadership has now matured into a roster that has one of the league’s best seniors in Jeff Pendergraph and has eight players who have started at least one game. True, the team again played four freshman and started three on a regular basis last year, but that train has probably left the station as six of the seven freshmen who have started a game in the past two years are on the roster this year fighting for playing time. The upsets of the first year? Maybe they are not upsets when you do it consistently. ASU knocked off four teams in the top 50 of the infamous Ratings Percentage Index with wins over #9 Xavier, #14 Stanford, #28 USC and two wins over #37 Arizona. Those five top-50 RPI wins were more than NCAA Tournament teams Washington State, USC and Oregon (four each). And building for the future could apply to this coming spring, when ASU’s Weatherup Center will be completed, a big-time practice facility that will have all Jeff Pendergraph’s rebound and follow-up against Arizona was the amenities needed to recruit and then develop top talent for years the key bucket in the Sun Devil victory on Jan. 9. ASU swept the to come. And that student section? The ESPN commentators and SEC Wildcats for the first time since 1994-95 last year, and Pendergraph had 29 points in the win in Tucson. writers commented on not only how loud it was against Florida in the NIT, but how it stayed loud throughout. Even when ASU fell behind big early, they just screamed louder. in his three years, including a tumor scare, a coaching change, an eight- So what can Sparky fans expect this year?

We’re always trying to put the players the best all-around freshman seasons in league history in a season where we have in the best position to succeed, and I think this year we have more options and more competition for spots.” AT HOME: ASU won 15 home games for first time in the 32-year history He likes his chances because he has star power in an All-Pac-10 duo, of Wells Fargo Arena last year (15-5) with wins over NCAA Tournament has a stable of solid experienced players, an energized coaching staff and teams Arizona, Xavier, Stanford, USC, Oregon and Coppin State.

He would leave as a McDonald's All- American. This does not happen in Los Angeles, which has open enrollment and wide-open recruiting of players who just became teenagers. Why? "He wasn't good enough to be ranked or for other programs to be recruiting him," said Scott Pera, Harden's high-school coach and now an assistant at Arizona State, where Harden is a first- team All-America. How Harden, a sophomore from Southern California, and Pera, from Hershey, ended up in Tempe is a classic basketball story. Pera, a 1989 Penn State Harrisburg grad who coached Elizabethtown College baseball while an undergrad, migrated west to be with his girlfriend-now-wife, Penn grad Alyssa Deaven. Before he went to LA, Pera coached Ann-ville-Cleona High to the 1999 Pennsylvania Class AA basketball championship. Pera got himself involved in the LA hoop scene. A friend suggested he apply for the job at powerhouse Artesia after the school had been beset by a recruiting scandal. The young man from Hershey, now living with his new wife in Marina Del Rey, applied. And got the job at the perennial power. A few years later, Harden walked into the gym.

    This is Pac-10 Basketball With 15 NCAA Championships (by !ve different schools) under its belt, it's easy to see why Pac-10 Basketball has as rich and as storied a tradition of hoop excellence as any Conference – if not more so. Some of the best ever to play the game have passed through this league – Jason Kidd, Gary Payton, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Lew Alcindor), Bill Walton, Hank Luisetti, Sidney Wicks, Bob Houbregs, Jack Gardner. The same is true on the coaching side – John Wooden, Slats Gill, Ralph Miller, Pete Newell, Marv Harshman, Everett Dean, Lute Olson. The “Conference of Champions” has claimed a record 15 NCAA Tournament titles, 34 NCAA Final Four Appearances, 60 consensus All-Americans, 16 National Players of the Year, 21 Naismith Memo- rial Basketball Hall of Fame members . well, you get the picture. Pac-10 Basketball began 92 seasons ago with the formation of the Paci!c Coast Conference. Cali- fornia won the !rst title in 1916 with a 5-3 record, ahead of competitors Oregon State (5-3) and Wash- ington (2-6). That season also produced the league's !rst All-American, Ade Sieberts of Oregon State. Six teams competed the following year, and Washington State’s 8-1 mark stood above the others. With the expansion of the PCC to eight teams in 1922, the league was split into north and south divi- sions, with the divisional champions meeting in a playoff. Idaho defeated California in the !rst playoff and produced the Conference's !fth All-American in eight seasons in Al Fox.
