ASU notebook: Still seeking consecutive wins
The Sun Devils (8-17, 4-9) made some headway last Thursday with a taut 57-52 home win over 11th-place Utah, but that's as far as they could stretch momentum. As has been the case following every other victory this season, Arizona State was unable to generate even a two-game winning streak.
The Devils' 63-49 loss to Colorado gave them a distinction they would prefer not to...

Under postseason ban, ASU wants Pac-12 title
TEMPE, Ariz. -- For a weekday in early February, everything seemed right at Packard Stadium, home of the Arizona State baseball team.
The sun was shining, the grass green and trimmed. The sound of cleats on concrete could be heard between the aluminum pings coming from the batting cage. A new season was clearly imminent, but something wasn't right.

Cupcakes are the (Sun) Devil.

With the 2012 season just days away, the ASU softball team has put its 2011 championship season out of mind...
