Arizona St.-UCLA Preview
Being the Pac-12 regular-season champion certainly didn't get UCLA the draw it was looking for as the top seed in the conference tournament.

Here's how I described what I was trying to get at in December: "The value of a blocked shot depends on...

Elite shot blockers: an update
A month ago I published a comparison between four of the nation's elite shot blockers. I chose the four best from high-major schools, with the thinking being that high-major schools play schedules which are probably more similar to each other than trying to compare players all across the breadth of 347 Division I teams. A month has passed and a lot more games have been played...

'Defense wins games,' and ASU has manned up
TEMPE, Ariz. Arizona State used to try to confound opponents with its matchup 1-3-1 zone defense. Now, ASU is using a more direct approach. Mano-a-mano.

ASU's Bachynski emerges as game changer
TEMPE, Ariz. Jordan Bachynski was impatient, antsy -- traits diametrically opposed to the ones that have made him the best shot-blocker in the Pac-12 Conference and one of the best in the nation.
He had just returned from a two-year LDS mission to South Florida, which might as well have been Mars. He had been given the opportunity to shoot baskets maybe once a week, but that was...
