How is ESPN or Fox not buying the game on 12/30 from PAC-12 Network? Just because it is late on a Saturday right before NYE?
ESPN and Fox each have a certain amount of games alotted to them prior to the season. Each network chooses the games that they want prior to the season starting and whatever they don't choose goes to Pac-12 Network. Arizona/ASU needless to say wasn't expected to be a matchup of two ranked teams, so the networks missed their shot. Sucks, but that's how the system is set up.
The announcers even admitted last night that it is probably the biggest game the Pac-12 Network has ever had.

This is some weak trolling, seriously. I mean do Marquette fans come in here talking shit about their superiority because, you know, Dwayne Wade? You gotta do better than James Harden and weak smack, dude.

The 2nd best player on his team from '13-last season was a 6'10 white guy who's yet to attempt a two-point FG in his career. Jordan wouldn't have won anything with this bunch.

What do you expect him to do, average 48 minutes and 56 points a game? Lol.

Elgin Baylor, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Russ Westbrook - none of 'em have ever done shit. Fuck 'em.

The one-kneed, no-kidneyed, walking dialysis played with Admiral and Duncan and won 2 rings, so I'll take him over ANY OF EM. Easy call.

How many of you on this thread are inbred?
Look, you pobably can't relate, but most of us are Arizona fans. We have a hard time being locked in on Harden or any single guy because we have a lottery pick rookie most years and have had multiple alums in the NBA finals for a few years now.

It's just harder for us, and I actually think Harden is really good. We just have a lot to keep us busy and can't focus on only one guy.

Harden might be more marketable but I'll take the career of iggy or the future career of Gordon over what ever no d ISO ball that harden plays.

He'll be in the same camp as Barkley as one who never won it when he's done with ball.

If Harden is so great, why didn't he win anything in college? Is it because he went to a shitty school that doesn't know how to win?

Why hasn't he won anything in the pros?

Waiting patiently for an answer.

Well as a 6 seed, they did beat an 11 so that is probably the greatest win ever for them lol. I still love that year. Phoenix declared UA dead. And Tempe got their shots in, but as always, the season is how you do in the tournament. The dead team beat a 5 seed and went to the sweet 16. Tempe, with their future NBA star, lost in the second round.

ASU hasn't outperformed Arizona in the tournament since 1995, when we were without Ben Davis and were shipped to Dayton to play Sendek's Miami, OH team. That's a helluva long time ago. Even ASUs best season since they still only managed a 3rd place finish in the Pac and one NCAA tournament win.

Interesting stat. Miller came to UA same time Harden went to the NBA. Harden's teams have made the playoffs every year. Harden went to the NBA Finals once. Harden's team won 3 division titles. U of A has 3 PAC 10/12 regular season titles since Miller has been coach.

Harden is basically still playing AAU ball. When he wins a championship, let alone a finals MVP, let alone wins a finals MVP defending against someone even 1/10th the player of Lebron James, then maybe we can talk about Harden.

Since this thread was created by a dbag Scummie....using an Arizona Hero as his moniker and whose days are sure to be numbered on this board, could we please delete this redundant thread as one ASU thread is surely enough?

Personally, I prefer the ‘ASU blows’ thread for Scummie Talk ;-)....I’m sure The Scummie who created this ‘Guard U’ titled thread is proud of his propaganda and would be sad at it being deleted or merged with its proper thread.....Thoughts?

I have a thought .......

Let’s not be delicate snowflakes every time a rival poster pops up.

Later in the season when ASSU is struggling to stay on the right side of the bubble and people are talking about their epic collapse, this guy will have melted away like a dirty patch of snow on a warm spring day.

Iggy has the titles and the Finals MVP,. But everything else goes to Harden.

Look I hate asu more than anyone. But to suggest that Iggy is a better player than Harden is laughable.

I believe people are saying he’s accomplished more, not better.

Which is true.

Here's another Guard U stat for you.

ASU has one alum in the NBA. Arizona has two guards from the 2016-17 team ALONE who have played NBA games this year. Adding Lauri, we've had 3 times as many NBA players this year if you only count last year's team against all of ASU's history.
