Much better for ASU on Friday in Henderson against Santa Clara than in the Idaho State opener at Tempe. For the Sun Devils to continue their improvement, Bobby Hurley is going to need vets like Milwaukee transfer G BJ Freeman (17 points on Friday) and holdover sr. G Adam Miller (16 vs. Santa Clara) to act as calming influences for a frosh-laden roster. Three-point shooting also improved on Friday when canning 15 triples. Gonzaga, however, appears to be a different animal this season; that 101-63 destruction of top ten Baylor last week was a warning shot. The firepower has increased exponentially with the adds of G Khalif Battle (via Arkansas) and Michael Ajayi (from Pepperdine) to an already-loaded roster. Play Gonzaga
