Taking it all with a grain of salt

Bob Clark of the Eugene (Ore.) Register-Guard goes Arizona State heavy in his Pac-10 notes for the week. Be sure to check out the last quote by Arizona interim coach Kevin O’Neill. It’s what’s made him a favorite for years.
A few leftovers:
Bad news for the rest of the Pac-10, as Stanford’s 7-foot center Brook Lopez is back and eligible for the next semester. The high school All-American was one of the better freshman in the league last year, averaging 12.6 points and six rebounds per game.
When one returns, another leaves. Oregon State freshman Michael Stovall left the team on Wednesday. He averaged 5.4 minutes in seven games.
The latest NCAA stat rankings were released Monday. ASU is third-best in the Pac-10, allowing 55.7 points per game. The Sun Devils are tops in the conference in field goal percentage allowed (36.7 percent), free throws (77.3 percent, although that number will drop following Tuesday night’s trepedatia) and No. 1 at 7.8 steals per game.
