Friday Links

Working hard through the holidays to keep you informed and ready for conference play next week (yipee!)

• Arizona State is on the rise as the preseason winds down. Lots of respect for Utah right now too.

• Jahii Carson is one of the best guards in the country (plus power rankings, league leaders and dunk stats).

• Washington State's newcomers: Ike Iroegbu, Que Johnson and Jordan Railey, have made an impact this season.

• A scouting report on the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils, who play at Washington and Washington State this weekend.

• This is cool: the All-Bay Area, November and December, team.

• Kaleb Tarczewski is expected to be back in the lineup when conference play begins. On that same subject, be sure to cast your vote on pachoop's poll this week.

• The Wildcats are focused on staying on top and getting "a lot" better.

• Preview of tonight's San Diego State-St. Katherine game, including more background on the Firebirds' incredible story (55 3PT attempts against Hawaii-Pacific?!?  Plus, I love the bit at the end about washing the away jerseys).
