Sunday's consolation game begins at 4:30 p.m., while the championship game is set for 7 p.m. The Sun Devils are coming off a heartbreaking, 77-75 loss to Texas Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Arena. Down by 20 points with 7:28 to go, ASU stormed back to knot the score at 75 with 14 seconds on the clock. But Texas guard Kim Lummus was fouled on the next possession and sank both freethrows at the 0:12-mark. ASU point guard Natalie Tucker's last-second jump shot fell short. The Sun Devils are currently led by Kitch Kitchen and Rachel Holt, who are averaging 11.0 points each. Holt paces the squad with 5.5 rebounds and is shooting a team-best 52.2 percent from the field. Tucker averages 4.5 assists.

ASU vs. The Tournament Field
Saturday's game marks the first-ever meeting between Arizona State and Gonzaga in the sport of women's basketball. The Sun Devils are 1-0 all-time against Pacific, with a 90-65 victory over the Tigers on Nov. 20, 1982, in San Luis Obispo, Calif. ASU has never met up with St. Joseph's on the hardwood.

Last Time Out
Texas guard Kim Lummus sank both ends of a two-shot foul with 11.2 seconds left to lift the Longhorns to a 77-75 win over Arizona State Dec. 2 at Wells Fargo Arena. The Sun Devils scored the first points of the game, but Texas took the lead after two minutes and would never relinquish it. The Longhorns owned a 44-28 advantage at halftime, largely on the strength of 65.6 percent shooting (21-of-32) in the first period. UT stormed ahead to take a 69-49 lead with 7:28 remaining, but Arizona State used a 26-6 run to tie the score at 75 with 14 seconds left. Kitch Kitchen added 10 points (including two three-pointers) in the run, Natalie Tucker scored six points and Michelle Tom added a three-pointer. Lummus was fouled by Tom at the :012-mark and made both freethrows, giving the Horns the two-point winning margin. A jump shot by Tucker fell short as the buzzer sounded. Kitchen scored a game-high 16 points, adding season-highs of six rebounds, six assists and three steals. Tucker posted 14 points and recorded four steals, while Kristine Sand added a season-high 10 points. Leah Combs notched her third double-double with 11 points and a game-high 11 rebounds. Edwina Brown paced Texas with 14 points, while Rashunda Johnson added 11 points and 10 rebounds.

What They Were Saying
ASU Coach Charli Turner Thorne on the Texas loss: "We played the first half like we played at Rutgers. We're a young team still learning how to play hard. In the second half, we played like the team we're going to be we played hard. We had a tremendous second-half effort. ... We're now at a point where we're playing higher level competition. We have to experience it, the fact that we're learning and playing tough and gave ourselves an opportunity to win (Wednesday night). I think it's tremendous."

Texas Coach Jody Conradt: "That was a really hard-fought game, and both teams played as hard as they can play. Arizona State was really aggressive defensively. They played very hard and had a 'Don't Quit' attitude, and it's petrifying to play that kind of team on the road because anything can happen and almost did."

ASU guard Kitch Kitchen: "We are a bounce-back type of team, but we're young and gaining experience. We seem to play with more emotion when the game is on the line and that is what happened in the second half."

About Gonzaga
Like ASU, the Bulldogs (1-4) head into the Wells Fargo Classic with two straight losses. Gonzaga fell to Boise State, 68-49, Nov. 29 and were defeated by Washington, 92-57, in Seattle Nov. 24. The Zags are led by sophomore guard Holly Turner's 10.6 points per game. Junior center Sydney Perno is averaging a team-high 6.0 rebounds along with 8.2 points. The Bulldogs average 41.0 rebounds and 55.4 points per contest.

About Pacific
The Tigers (2-2) are coming off a 78-50 win over USF Tuesday night in Stockton. Juniors Martha Yarbrough and Eden Palacio each scored 12 points to lead UOP in the win. Pacific's losses have come at the hands of Pac-10 team California (66-58) and St. Mary's (65-54). The Tigers opened their season with a convincing 73-57 win over Sacramento State Nov. 14. UOP is paced by Palacio's 13.0 points per game, and junior Sarah Yarbrough's team-high 5.5 rebounds. Freshman guard Selena Ho averages 12.5 points.

About St. Joseph's
The Hawks (2-3 overall, 1-0 Atlantic 10) handed Temple a 74-48 defeat Wednesday night for their first conference win on the season. Four players scored in double figures, led by freshman Susan Moran's 17 points (4-of-5 shooting, 9-9 FTs). Jennifer Greenwell and Jana Lichnerova each grabbed a game-high seven rebounds. St. Joseph's scored 31 of its 74 points off freethrows, and outrebounded the Owls, 44-28.

Combs Notches 3 Double-Doubles in 1st 4 Games
Freshman Leah Combs stepped into the starting lineup when her roommate, Theresa Jantzen, suffered a fractured foot after the Nov. 4 exhibition game. Combs has been phenomenal on the boards, posting her third straight double-double against Texas (10 pts./11 reb.) Dec. 2. Combs' recorded 10 points and 10 rebounds Nov. 28 vs. Southwestern Louisiana. She grabbed 15 of ASU's 55 rebounds and added 12 points in the 68-46 win over Sam Houston State Nov. 21. Playing like anything but a rookie, Combs became the first ASU player to record more than 12 rebounds since Christine Garner (13) on Dec. 28, 1996. In ASU's second exhibition game Nov. 14, she scored 18 points and recorded 17 rebounds.

Holt: ASU's Mark of Consistency
Junior Rachel Holt has been Arizona State's mark of consistency in the low post since last season. The 6-foot-3 center was named to the Rutgers Coca-Cola Classic All-Tournament team after averaging 11.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in ASU's two games. Twelve of Holt's 16 points vs. No. 11 Rutgers came from the charity stripe. Holt opened with 15 points, seven boards and a career-high four blocked shots against Sam Houston State. In her 15 minutes during the second half, she scored 12 points, blocked three shots and grabbed two boards.

Lang Stages Comeback
Battling inflammatory arthritis in her left knee since January 1998, senior point guard Rechelle "Georgie" Lang saw her first minutes of the season in ASU's 71-48 win over Southwestern Louisiana Nov. 28. Although she played just five minutes, seeing #3's jersey on the hardwood marked a personal victory for Lang, who was forced to relinquish her role as ASU's starting point guard last season due to the condition. Lang gave ASU four quality minutes Dec. 2 vs. Texas, as she hit a three-pointer during the Sun Devils' second-half comeback. Lang remains day-to-day with the arthritic knee.

Jeckell & Hyde
Arizona State displayed brilliant perimeter shooting in three of four halves at the Rutgers Coca-Cola Classic Nov. 28-29. The Sun Devils drained a school record-tying nine three-pointers (9-of-17/52.9 percent) against Southwestern Louisiana, matching a 9-of-17 performance against Northern Arizona on Nov. 23, 1990. ASU was red hot from beyond the arc in the first half vs. Rutgers, shooting 62.5 percent (5-of-8), but went 1-for-13 the rest of the way. In its season opener against Sam Houston State, ASU did not make at least one 3-pointer (0-7) for the first time since Dec. 5, 1996. In its two exhibition games, ASU shot a combined 26.5 percent from 3-point range (9-of-34).

The Exhibition Season
Arizona State averaged 90.0 points and 49.0 rebounds in its two exhibition wins against Slovan Bratislava (83-73 on Nov. 4) and the Riverland Raiders (97-43 on Nov. 14). However, the Sun Devils struggled from the perimeter, shooting a combined 26.5 percent (9-of-34).

Injury Update
Freshman forward Theresa Jantzen is out until mid-December with a fractured left foot. The injury was discovered after ASU's Nov. 4 exhibition game. Sophomore guard Ebony Edwards underwent scope surgery on her right knee Nov. 11 and is expected back for ASU's games in the Wells Fargo Classic.

Expecting A Successful Season And...
ASU head coach Charli Turner Thorne (Stanford '88) is planning for a lot more than just a highly successful basketball season this year. The third-year head coach and her husband are expecting their first child, a son, Feb. 6, 1999. Turner Thorne's due date also happens to be the date of ASU's home game against Washington.

Did You Know?
Just two Arizona State players, junior center Rachel Holt and junior forward Kristine Sand have played at least two years of Division I basketball.

Moving Forward
Since Charli Turner Thorne took over the reigns of the program in 1996-97, the Sun Devils have began a climb back toward the prominence enjoyed by ASU teams in the early 1990s. After an NCAA Tournament appearance in 1991-1992 and a 17-win season in 1992-93, ASU had averaged just 2.7 conference wins and 6.7 overall wins in the three seasons before Turner Thorne was brought in.

The Sun Devils stormed out to a 15-2 lead, but found Sam Houston State within five points (43-38) with 9:15 left in the game. ASU made good on 11 of 12 freethrows and outscored the LadyKats 15-2 in the final 5:45 to put the game out of reach for good.

Nine of Sheirons points came on three pointers. ASU recorded 55 rebounds, its most since Dec. 5, 1996, when it notched 58 boards vs. American University. The Sun Devils were 0-for-7 from three-point range and committed 34 turnovers.

Game 2 Nov. 28 ASU 71, Southwestern Louisiana 48
PISCATAWAY, N.J.-- Three players reached double figures in scoring, paced by sophomore guard Leaf Newmans 16 points, to help lead ASU past Southwestern Louisiana, 71-48, at the Rutgers Coca-Cola Classic. The Ragin Cajuns narrowed the Sun Devil lead to 11 points with 8:24 to go, but Arizona State countered with a 15-2 run that included back-to-back three-pointers by New Jersey native Kitch Kitchen and a trey from Newman, who finished with a career-high three three-pointers and four assists.

Game 3 Nov. 29 ASU 48, #11 Rutgers 67
PISCATAWAY, N.J.-- ASU took second place at the Rutgers Coca-Cola Classic, falling to No. 11 Rutgers 67-48 in the Championship Game. A three-pointer by Kristine Sand knotted the score at 10 early on, and Arizona State made five of seven three-point field goals in the first 12 minutes to keep pace with the Scarlet Knights, 29-21. But point guard Natalie Tucker picked up her second personal foul less than four minutes into the game and was forced to sit for most of the first half. A pair of freethrows by freshman Leah Combs brought the Sun Devils to within four points with under seven minutes to go in the first half, however, the Scarlet Knights settled down to take a 40-30 advantage into the locker room. In the second half, Rutgers held the Sun Devils scoreless for 9:10, as ASU managed just 18 points off four field goals and nine freethrows. The Sun Devils struggled on the perimeter to the tune of 7.7 percent shooting (1-13) in the second stanza. Rachel Holt scored 12 of her 16 points from the charity stripe and added six rebounds to pace ASU. Shawnetta Stewart led the Scarlet Knights with 15 points, eight rebounds and six assists, while Linda Miles and Davalyn Cunningham each chipped in 13 points. Rutgers controlled the boards, outrebounding the Sun Devils 42-27, including 28 defensive rebounds. The Scarlet Knights shot 49.1 percent from the field (28-of-57) to ASU's 27.1 percent (13-of-48).
