A reminder that Saturday’s 2 p.m. tipoff between Arizona State and Saint Francis at Wells Fargo Arena is free for all ASU students, as well as one guest. It’s also free for Maricopa Community College District students. Just show a vaild student identification at the South ticket windows.
We’ll find out if a week off did the Sun Devils good. It may be hard for most of us to get a gauge how well they really played (we’re not coaches who can scrutinize game film for hours), but coach Herb Sendek is pretty forthcoming when it comes to assessing his team. At least, there was no sugar coating after barely beating Idaho.
The Sun Devils need to not only win, but play well for themselves (regardless of the final point margin). Oregon may be struggling lately, but come Thursday, the Ducks will be a steep upgrade in opposition from Saint Francis.
Quick injury update: Jeff Pendergraph hyperextended some fingers and wore a wrap on his left hand in practice late this week, and Ty Abbott took an inadvertent elbow to the face from Steve Jones. Both should be fine.
