According to Espn.com – Bracketology, currently the Devils are slotted as the 10 seed in the west facing off against BYU. A second round match-up against Kansas awaits them next. If the miracle on ice repeats itself, but with ASU and a basketball, they would then likely face off against the likes of Georgetown or Clemson. Following two upsets, Cinderella, aka the Sun Devils, would have a rematch shot at UCLA. Why stop there? I might be dreaming by now, but the Final Four match-up would slot the Devils in a showdown with one of either Memphis, Texas, or Wisconsin, who headline the South region. On to the championship I say…lets see…there is Duke, Tennessee, North Carolina and perhaps Xavier. Wait a tick, didn’t we already handle them quite easily this year?
My point is that ASU is tested and primed to make a historic run. Why not the Devils? It all starts with a couple wins this weekend in Oregon to ensure not just a spot in the NCAA tournament, but a seed that elevates our chances of making the “Run heard ’round the world.” (or so I will call it)
