DIOGU PRODUCES ANOTHER GREAT SEASON: The Arizona State men's basketball team (10-17 and 4-14 in the Pac-10), with seven first-year players in the rotation, were led in 2003-2004 by preseason All-American Ike Diogu, who averaged a Pac-10 best 22.8 points and 36.9 minutes per game and grabbed 8.9 rebounds per game (second in the Pac-10). The sophomore has scored in double digits in all 59 career games, the best active streak in the nation. Diogu averaged 11.03 free throw attempts per game on the year and broke the 40 year-old Pac-10 season record for free throws made with 243. He has 29 career 20-point games, 15 career double-doubles (eight this past year) and 10 other games with nine rebounds. This season, he posted five 30-point games and 17 20-point games. The Garland, Texas, native was third in the league in offensive boards (3.33 per game), second in blocks (1.74) and seventh in free throw percentage at .815. He averaged 37.5 minutes in the final 17 games and led ASU in scoring in 12 of the final 14 contests. Diogu also posted better numbers from his freshman year in a few of the overlooked statistics. He was 14-of-37 (.378) from the three-point stripe after going 9-of-24 (.375) in 2002-2003. He shot 81.5 percent from the free throw line after shooting 73.5 percent in 2002-2003. His rebounds also went up (7.8 per game to 8.9), and he surpassed last year's blocks total with 47 (31 in 2002-2003) and assists total with 44 (26).
DIOGU AMONG TOP SCORERS: Sophomore Ike Diogu averaged 22.8 points per game in 2003-2004, which not only led the Pac-10 but was ninth in the nation. Diogu will enter the 2004-2005 season as at least the nation's fourth-leading returning scorer, as Kevin Martin of Western Carolina has declared for this summer's NBA Draft but could return to school. Diogu also will be the first Pac-10 scoring leader to be back on campus the following season since Reggie Miller won the honors in 1985-86 and returned in 1986-87.

DEVIL DATA: ASU was third in the nation in free throw attempts at 27.56 per game, behind only Texas Southern (28.3) and Niagara (28.2)...ASU's top three scorers (sophomore Ike Diogu, junior Stevie Moore and senior Jamal Hill) shot 381-of-468 (.814) from the free throw line...ASU shot 71.4 percent from three at USC (10-of-14) on Jan. 17, the fourth-best mark in school history...the Sun Devils used 13 starting lineups on the year...ASU shot 73.5 percent from the free throw line, the fifth-best mark in school history, second-best in the past 17 seasons and fourth in the Pac-10...ASU went 19-of-20 (.950) from the free throw line against UCLA on Feb. 12, which set the school single-game mark for 20 attempts...redshirt freshman Kevin Kruger provided a spark in the final nine games, averaging 29.0 minutes, 12.4 points and shot 27-of-59 (.448) from the three-point stripe. He was the team's second-leading scorer in those nine games...ASU played back-to-back overtimes games against UCLA (Feb. 12) and USC (Feb. 14) for the first time since the 1985-86 season...redshirt freshman Serge Angounou played his best game since his knee injury last year at Oregon on Feb. 21 with 12 points (5-of-11 shooting) and five boards in 32 minutes.
FREE THROWS: ASU made free throws at a 73.5 percent rate this year, the fifth-best mark in school history and the second-best in the past 17 seasons. A look at the best free throw shooting teams in Sun Devil history.
ASU TOP SEASON FT% 1. 75.6 - 1978 2. 75.4 - 1955 3. 74.6 - 1998 - 1987 5. 73.5 - 2004 6. 73.0 - 1957 7. 72.9 - 2000 8. 72.1 - 1989 9. 72.0 - 1982 10. 70.7 - 1959
DOUBLE DIGITS: Ike Diogu's 59 straight double-figure scoring games (the best current mark in the nation) is ASU's best in at least the past 14 seasons, topping the mark of senior Jeremy Veal who notched double digits in the first 30 games in 1997-98. Even in Eddie House's amazing 1999-2000 season, his longest double-digit scoring streak was 10 straight. A look at the best ASU streaks beginning with the 1990-91 season:
Sun Devil Double-Digit Scoring Streaks (1990-91 to present/Past 14 Seasons) Player (Yr./Season) Streak Ike Diogu, (Fr-So./2002-04) 59 Jeremy Veal (Sr./1997-98) 30 Stevin Smith, (Jr./1992-93) 24 Mario Bennett, (Jr./1994-95) 21 Jeremy Veal, (So./1995-96) 18
TOP SCORER: This year marked the first time ASU had returned its top scorer in the past four seasons. ASU was one of four Pac-10 teams that returned its top scorer, along with USC (Desmon Farmer/18.7), Washington State (Marcus Moore/18.2) and Washington (Nate Robinson/13.0).
BAD LUCK: Since 1990, 56 of 57 Pac-10 teams who have won at least 11 conference games have been selected to the NCAAs. The exception? ASU in 1992-93, when it was 11-7 and tied for third. Also, 61 of 63 teams since 1990 who have posted 18 wins and 10 Pac-10 wins have qualified. Again, the odd teams out were ASU in 1992-93 and 1999-2000.
A MIXED BUNCH: Thirteen players getting a starting nod, 13 starting lineups, seven newcomers playing significant minutes, a player who had not played in 15 months notching 50 minutes in his first two games in early January and a starting freshman guard who was averaging 21.6 minutes per game breaking his nose and missing nine games contributed to ASU's struggles. ASU lost 477 games of experience from its 20-12 NCAA Tournament team in 2002-2003 when its six seniors graduated, as those players accounted for 117 minutes per game and Ike Diogu was the only returning starter from the NCAA win over Memphis. Tron Smith had started six of the first seven games but broke his nose in practice over the holiday break and had surgery on Jan. 6 and missed nine games recovering from surgery and then pneumonia. Serge Angounou, who missed all of the 2002-2003 season with a knee injury, returned for his first game action on Jan. 8 vs. Stanford after rehabbing since his injury on Nov. 13, 2002, in an exhibition game.
A BUILDER: When Rob Evans arrived in the spring of 1998, many talked about his final two years at Ole Miss when he went 42-16 (.724) and won two SEC West titles with a program that had been to just one NCAA Tournament. Before those seasons, Evans took a program many called "below ground" and had a 44-65 (.403) mark in his first four years. At ASU, Evans was 60-60 in his first four years before going 20-12 last year. Evans is 104-126 (.454) in his first four years of building a program and is now 72-45 (.615) after the rebuilding process.
FRESHMEN: When Tron Smith and Keith Wooden started the opener vs. Arkansas-Litte Rock, it marked the first time two Sun Devil freshmen had started an opener in the past 13 seasons. The last time ASU had two freshmen in the opening day lineup was Nov. 23, 1990 (Jamal Faulkner and Stevin Smith). It marked only the third and fourth time a freshman had started in the past 11 openers at ASU. Prior to Ike Diogu (2002-2003), Donnell Knight (1999-2000), Smith and Wooden, the last freshman to start an opener was Ron Riley in 1992-93.
Rob Evans: Rob Evans (176-170/.509) finished his sixth season at Arizona State (12th overall) after being hired on April 7, 1998. The 1997 SEC Coach of the Year spent six seasons at Ole Miss, compiling an 86-81 (.515) record. He led the Rebels to a 42-16 record in his final two seasons after going 44-65 (.403) in his first four, winning two SEC West titles, and led Ole Miss to back-to-back 20-win seasons for the first time since 1937-38. The 57-year old Evans is a 1968 graduate of New Mexico State, where he captained two NCAA Tournament teams, is a 1989 inductee of the Athletic Hall of Fame and was named to the school's All-Time team. He is 90-89 (.503) at ASU. Evans' Ole Miss squads were known as tough man-to-man teams which ranked 13th in the nation in 1997-98 in rebounding at +6.6. Ole Miss held opponents to just 30 percent from the three-point stripe, best in the SEC, and to just 40.6 percent from the field. He is 133-101 (.568) in the past seven seasons.
AWARD WINNERS: Team award winners for 2003-2004 were: Serge Angounou (Ned Wulk Award), Jason Braxton (Assist Award and Best Defensive Player), Ike Diogu (Team MVP, Tony Cerkvenik Rebounding Award, Best Offensive Player), Jamal Hill (Most Improved), Kevin Kruger (Freshman of the Year) and Wilfried Fameni (Academic Award).

LEVER ASU'S CHOICE FOR 2004 PAC-10 HALL: The Sun Devil family inducted Lafayette "Fat" Lever into the Pac-10 Hall of Honor in March of 2004. The Hall of Honor inducted its first class in 2002 at the Pac-10 Tournament Hall of Honor Banquet. Byron Scott was ASU's initial inductee while Ned Wulk was inducted in 2003. The Pac-10 Hall of Honor was created to recognize athletes and coaches who have made significant contributions to the tradition and heritage of the Pac-10. Lever is a 1988 ASU Hall of Fame inductee who was a four-year letterman from 1978-82 who returned to school and finished his B.A. in Education in 1996. A three-year starter, Lever earned second-team Associated Press All-American honors in 1981-82. He earned All-Pac-10 accolades in 1980-81 and 1981-82 and led ASU in assists and steals for three straight seasons. His 1,137 points ranks 19th on the school's career scoring chart. In 1979-80, the Sun Devils finished 22-7, second in the Pac-10 at 15-3, with a national top-20 ranking in both wire service polls and an NCAA Tournament berth. In 1980-81, ASU went 24-4 and concluded the season with an upset-victory at undefeated, top-ranked and Pac-10 champion Oregon State. The 11th overall pick in the 1982 NBA Draft by Portland, Lever played with the Trail Blazers from 1982-84, the Denver Nuggets (1984-90) and the Dallas Mavericks (1990-94).
ALL UNDERCLASS: ASU did not have a senior in the lineup vs. Arkansas-Little Rock for the first time since Jan. 20, 2000, when senior Eddie House sat the first three minutes of an overtime loss at USC after missing the flight to Los Angeles the previous night. The only previous all-underclass lineup was on Dec. 28, 1992, when ASU topped Duquesne 103-81. The Nov. 22 game was the first in the previous 107 and just the second in the previous 326 contests where no senior Sun Devil started.
