Tied for sixth in the Pac-10 with USC, Arizona State hosts the Bruins and the Trojans as the Pac-10 race winds down this week. Battling for their first top-five league finish in five seasons, the Sun Devils find themselves in a crucial position if they are to accomplish that task. UCLA has suffered just three conference losses this year, to top-10 teams Stanford (twice) and Arizona. USC defeated the Sun Devils 68-55 in both teams' Pac-10 opener on Jan. 2. ASU has already clinched its best conference record in five years -- since going 10-8 (17-10 overall) and finishing fourth in 1993. The Sun Devils are coming off a winless road trip to the Bay Area last weekend, where they fell 90-71 to No. 5 Stanford and 65-58 to Cal. Senior Stephanie Freeman continues to pace the Sun Devils with 14.3 points per game, while sophomore Rachel Holt posts a team-high 5.0 rebounds a game.

SO-LONG SENIORS
Saturday's game will be the last for ASU seniors Stephanie Freeman, Rameeka Lowe and Spring Steed. Freeman, the squad's sole four-year letterwinner, will close out her Sun Devil career at second on the ASU all-time steals list (226 steals) and as the fourth-most prolific three-point shooter (65 treys) in ASU history. Her 72 steals this season ranks her 10th on the single-season chart. The 5-foot-10 forward out of Austin, Texas, has played in 105 games and earned 59 starts over the last four seasons. Lowe, a native of Seattle, returned to ASU (via the junior college ranks) prior to the 1996-97 season. She currently ranks third in Pac-10 assists (4.33), and maintains a career average of 4.58 assists per game (174 assists/38 games).

Kristin Clark posts a team-leading 16.0 points per game to go along with 3.6 assists. Adrain Williams contributes 12.4 points and a team-high 6.9 reboudns per outing.
ASU-UCLA SERIES
The Bruins lead the 39-game series 30-9 and have won nine of their last 11 games versus Arizona State. ASU has won two of the last four meetings, including the last two played in Tempe. UCLA is 14-6 in Tempe.
ASU-USC SERIES
USC owns a 35-3 edge in the series versus ASU and has won each of the last nine meetings. The Trojans last lost to the Sun Devils on March 11, 1993 (64-55 in Los Angeles). USC is 16-2 in Tempe.
CALI CONNECTIONS
ASU Head Coach Charli Turner Thorne (Mission Hills, Calif./Bishop Alemany HS), Assistant Coach Laura Hughes (San Diego/Orange Glen HS) and two Sun Devils hail from the Golden State -- senior guard Spring Steed (Fairfield, Calif./Armijo HS) and freshman guard Leaf Newman (Perris, Calif./Perris HS). In fact, Newman and UCLA sophomore Maylana Martin were high school teammates. In 1995-96, the duo helped lead Perris HS to a 24-3 record and the CIF Southern Section Division II semifinals. Turner Thorne's parents are both employed by UCLA.
GET OUT THE BROOMS
ASU's 69-49 win over Oregon State on Feb. 21 completed its season sweep of the Beavers. The sweep is the Sun Devils' second on the year after going 2-0 against Washington State. The last time ASU swept more than one Pac-10 team was in 1993 when it went 2-0 against four teams. Here's a look at the Sun Devils' year-by-year sweeps over the last seven seasons:
Year # Sweeps Teams
1991-92 3 Arizona, California, Oregon State
1992-93 4 Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Washington State
1993-94 1 Washington State
1994-95 --
1995-96 1 Washington
1996-97 --
1997-98 2 Oregon State, Washington State
TIMES ARE CHANGING With two games still left on the schedule the Sun Devils have already surpassed their overall win total (9) and have doubled their Pac-10 win total (3) from a year ago. ASU has averaged 2.8 conference wins and 7.25 overall wins over the last four seasons.

THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED... The last time ASU ended the first half of Pac-10 play with a 4-5 slate, it finished fifth in the league with a record of 11-7 (1992) and earned an NCAA Tournament berth. The last time the
Sun Devils notched at least five Pac-10 wins was 1993, when they finished 10-8 and tied for fourth in the league.
BALANCED ATTACK
In ASU's 25 games this season, eight different Sun Devils have led the squad (or tied for the lead) in scoring, while 10 players have paced the squad (or tied for the lead) on the glass. Stephanie Freeman has led the team in scoring 13 times (two ties), followed by Rachel Holt eight times (three ties), Kisha White four times (two ties) and one each from Rechelle Lang, Ebony Edwards, Michelle Tom, Kristine Sand and Leaf Newman. In the rebounding department, Holt has notched the team-high nine times, followed by White and Rameeka Lowe (five times), Freeman and Newman (four times), Lang (three times), Sand (twice) and Bennett, Tom and Edwards (once).
BIGGEST PAC-10 WINS SINCE...
ASU's 75-54 win over Cal on Jan. 31 was it's largest margin of victory in a Pac-10 game (21 points) in five years, dating back to a 37-point win over Oregon in 1993. ASU has notched two other 20-point Pac-10 wins this year: vs. Washington State (80-60) and California (75-54).
ANOTHER OBSTACLE OVERCOME
ASU's 85-79 win over Oregon State on Jan. 22 qualified as its first Pac-10 road win since Feb. 3, 1995. The Sun Devils snapped a 15-game losing streak with the win and picked up another road win at Washington State on Feb. 5.
THE BEST OF TIMES, THE WORST OF TIMES
The Sun Devils showed two different sides during their two-game road trip to the state of Washington early last month. ASU shot a season-high 62.5 percent (30-of-48) from the field Feb. 5 at Washington State, but then bottomed out with a season-low 20.0 percent-effort at Washington (12-of-60). The Sun Devils posted 79 points versus the Cougars, but combined for just 39 points against the Huskies, tying their season-low output.
EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS
Currently tied for sixth place in the Pac-10, ASU was picked to finish ninth in the league in a preseason poll of Pac-10 Media.
PRESSURE DEFENSE
In a stretch of three games vs. Washington State, Arizona and at Oregon State (Jan. 10-22), ASU forced its opponents to commit an average of 33.0 turnovers per game (WSU 30; Arizona 36; OSU 33). In fact, 13 of the Sun Devils' 25 opponents have committed at least 25 miscues this season, with a season-high 40 turnovers by Long Island on Dec. 20.
TEMPE TURNAROUND
After 53 games at the helm of the ASU women's basketball program, Head Coach Charli Turner Thorne has the Sun Devils heading in the right direction. ASU had not recorded more than eight wins in a season for three straight years before she arrived in Tempe in June of 1996. Here's what has been changing since then...
In 1997-98 Turner Thorne has guided ASU to:
* Its best Pac-10 start (4-5) since the 1992-93 season when it started out 5-4.
* Its most Pac-10 wins (6) in five years.
* Its largest margin of victory in a Pac-10 game (+21) since 1992-93.
* Its first back-to-back conference wins since 1995-96.
* Its first Pac-10 road win in almost three years.
* Its first season sweep of a Pac-10 team in two years.
* Its first sweep of at least two Pac-10 teams in five years.
* One of its biggest upsets (77-76 win vs. then-No. 7 Washington).
* Its first 100-point game since the 1992-93 season (118 points vs. Long Island).
* The second-highest scoring output by a Sun Devil women's team (118 points).

AT THE LINE
Bolstered by an 11-of-12 performance (91.7 percent) at Washington on Feb. 5, ASU posts a Pac-10 second-best 70.4 free-throw percentage (409-of-581). Six Sun Devils are connecting on at least 70.0 percent of their free throws: Freeman, Newman, Lowe, Lang, White and Tom.
DEVILS SURPASS CENTURY MARK
The Sun Devils recorded their third win in record-setting fashion, (with five players tallying career- or season-high point totals) in an opening-round 118-56 victory over Long Island in the Wells Fargo Classic. The 118-point effort marked the first time an ASU women's team has reached the century mark since the 1992-93 season. That squad posted a 119-72 win over Marquette (also in ASU's tournament). The offensive output also tied as the second-most points ever by Sun Devil women, and was just three points off of the UAC record (121 points by the ASU men during the 1988-89 season).
SR * F * STEPHANIE FREEMAN * AUSTIN, TEXAS
Senior forward Stephanie Freeman (Austin, Texas), ASU's sole three-year letterwinner, continues to lead the squad offensively with 14.3 points per game. Freeman has paced the Sun Devils in scoring in 13 games, tying Ebony Edwards with a team-high 18 points vs. UCSB and tying Rachel Holt with 15 points vs. Cal on Jan. 31. She put together a string of five straight games scoring in double figures to start the 1997-98 season. Two days after serving a one-game suspension for breaking a team rule, Freeman notched her career high of 25 points vs. Washington State on Jan. 10. She leads the Pac-10 in steals (3.0 spg) and has 17 double-figure scoring games on the year. With her career-high tying seven steals vs. Oregon State on Feb. 21, Freeman moved to second on the ASU all-time steals chart. She drained a career-high four three-pointers (in five attempts) in ASU's 65-58 loss to California on Feb. 28.
SO * C * RACHEL HOLT * BUCKEYE, ARIZ.
Sophomore center Rachel Holt (Buckeye, Ariz.), the sole Sun Devil to start all 25 games this year, is shooting 75.0 percent from the line and averaging 10.9 points in Pac-10 games. The Sun Devils' 6-foot-3 starting center was averaging 13.6 points and 6.6 rebounds in a stretch of seven games from Dec. 10 to Jan. 8. During that span, Holt shot 58.1 percent (36-of-62) from the field. Her numbers of late are the opposite of those from the first five games of the season, where she averaged just 6.8 points and 3.8 rebounds. Holt posted her second double-double on the season (and of her career) against Washington on Jan. 8, finishing with 13 points and 10 boards vs. the Huskies. Her first double-double came in just 23 minutes of action Dec. 20 against Long Island as she poured in 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
JR * F * KISHA WHITE * PHOENIX, ARIZ.
Junior forward Kisha White, a walkon from Phoenix, Ariz. (South Mountain HS), earned herself a spot among ASU's starting five back on Dec. 20. An injury to freshman Jennifer Bennett on Dec. 16 opened the door for White, who has come on strong to post eight double-figure scoring efforts in her 18 games as a starter -- including a career-high 24 points vs. Oregon on Feb. 19. Coming in off the bench, she posted 12-point efforts versus Dayton and Oregon State. White grabbed a career-high nine rebounds vs. Oregon on Jan. 24 and posted eight against Arizona (Jan. 17) and Cal (Jan. 31). She was named to the ASU Wells Fargo Classic All-Tournament Team on Dec. 21. White is the mother of a three-year-old son, Christopher.
JR * G * MICHELLE TOM * WINSLOW, ARIZ.
Since becoming eligible on Dec. 20, junior point guard Michelle Tom has had an immeasurable impact on the Sun Devil offense. The 5-8 Winslow, Ariz., native is averaging a team third-best 8.3 points through 19 games. She has started a string of 11 straight games since Jan. 22, when Rechelle Lang's role became limited due to a swollen left knee. Tom was the Sun Devil who launched "the shot" -- a 20-foot buzzer-beater that lifted ASU to a 77-76 victory over then-No. 7 Washington on Jan. 8. The toss made CNN/SI's "Plays of the Day." Earning her first start versus the Huskies, Tom finished with a team-high 19 points, six rebounds and five assists, playing at the two position. She was named the Pac-10 Player of the Week on Jan. 12, ASU's first such honor since March of 1996. A transfer from Central Florida at mid-season a year ago, Tom is a cousin of former ASU standout Ryneldi Becenti, a two-time honorable mention All-American who directed ASU to the NCAA Tournament in 1992.
SR * G * RAMEEKA LOWE * SEATTLE, WASH.
"Versatile" best describes Rameeka Lowe (Seattle, Wash.), ASU's starter at the two position. Lowe has notched ASU's single-game highs this season in assists (10 vs. UC Santa Barbara) and steals (8, twice, vs. Long Island and Jan. 22 vs. Oregon State) and she paced the squad in rebounding five times: vs. Auburn (7), at Oregon State (6), at Washington (10), at Arizona (6) and at California (8). Lowe recorded her first double-double vs. UCSB, finishing with 10 points and a career-high 10 assists. Six of her points came from beyond
the arc, as she went 2-for-2 from three-point range. Lowe is shooting 72.2 percent from the line and averages 3.8 rebounds to go along with 6.3 points and 4.3 assists (third in the Pac-10).
JR * G * RECHELLE LANG * TEKUITI, NEW ZEALAND
ASU has been without the services of starting point guard Rechelle Lang (left knee) for nine games, dating back to Jan. 29. Before her knee injury, Lang had stepped up as the team's quiet leader. The 5-foot-9 TeKuiti, New Zealand native dished out at least six assists five times this year, with a career-high nine vs. Long Island. Lang contributed eight assists vs. Dayton and Washington, seven vs. Oklahoma and six vs. WSU. On the year, she has two double figure scoring games: 11 points vs. UC Santa Barbara; 10 points vs. Auburn. Lang underwent orthoscopic surgery on Feb. 12.
WHAT THEY'VE BEEN SAYING...
"This is the best ASU team we've played against. ... I was surprised how intense the game was from the get-go. They came out really pressing our guards and forced us into doing things we don't normally do." -- Arizona forward Adia Barnes, Jan. 17, 1998.
"This game we'll take with us for the rest of the season. We faced adversity from every angle... I was very impressed with Arizona State's pressure on the ball." -- Auburn Coach Joe Ciampi, Dec. 21, 1997
MAXIMUM EXPOSURE
A full radio contract, which includes coverage of each of the Sun Devils' 28 regular-season contests, is part of the ASU women's basketball package for the first time ever this season. Twenty-four games will be carried on KMVP (860 AM), and the remaining four will air on KTAR (620 AM). All but four of the games will be broadcast live.
HEAD COACH CHARLI TURNER THORNE
Turner Thorne (Stanford '88), who is in her second year as the Sun Devil mentor, arrived at ASU after a three-year stint as head coach at Northern Arizona University. Turner Thorne's ASU record is 19-34(.358/2 years) and her career record stands at 59-74 (.444/5 years). She guided ASU to one of its biggest upsets, beating No. 7 Washington on Jan. 8, 1998, and led ASU to its most wins (9) since the 1992-93 season last year. At NAU, she took the Lumberjacks to consecutive winning seasons in 1994-95 and 1995-96, the first coach in NAU history to accomplish that feat. Turner Thorne was 40-40 overall in her three years in Flagstaff. She previously worked as an assistant at Santa Clara and Washington. Turner Thorne, who signed a four-year contract with ASU in 1996, is assisted by Mark Lewis (Southern Mississippi '82), Laura Hughes (Santa Clara '92) and Erika Hardwick (Washington '93).
