The Good?: Sun Devils will get much-needed SOS help if they advance to the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off, where it's likely Duke & either UConn or LSU will be waiting.

The (not so) Bad?: NBA talents Harden & Pendergraph are gone, but nevertheless Baylor, San Diego State, the Cal State Northridge/TCU winner & UCSB should provide competitive affairs for ASU season-ticket holders.

The Ugly?: Six opponents of #250 or higher -- including Jim Molinari's Western Illinois squad -- on the home slate. ... yuck!
