Message: [QUOTE="bpo57, post: 2520000, member: 1572"] With its loss to Colorado today, ASU has now lost 11 out of 19 P-12 games and finishes in 9th place in what most everybody considers the weakest of the power conferences. All of the bracketologists have ASU in the NCAAT based on their OOC performance - with impressive wins over Xavier, KU and to a lesser extent KSU. Jerry Palm has been rotating them back and forth between 8 and 9 despite loss after loss piling up against P-12 teams that will not be in the NCAAT. He had them 9 this morning, he'll probably move them back to 8 after this loss. They're competing with other P-12 teams for a bubble spot as well other power con teams around the country. Somehow their dreadful performance within a weak conference that encompasses a 19 game sample is supposed to be completely mitigated by those two impressive wins. Just a few years ago they wouldn't even be in the conversation let alone firmly entrenched in the tourney. Nuts. [/QUOTE]
