 The Arizona State Sun Devils have a mens college basketball team. The team plays within the Division 1 level of mens college basketball. This Division 1 level is widely regarded as the most competitive division of all of the levels of college basketball.
The team has had a very interesting history over the years. They are by no means one of the more successful schools in the nation, but they have definitely had some moments of success over the years of their existence. One of the biggest accomplishments available to more universities is being considered as a team that is worthy of being admitted into the NCAA tournament.
The NCAA tournament features the top 64 teams in the nation. Many teams make the tournament by winning their conference. Other teams manage to gain entry to the tournament by being selected by a committee. The Sun Devils have managed to make the NCAA tournament 13 times in the history of their franchise. The most recent invitation that they have received to play in the tournament came in 2009.
To go along with
those 13 NCAA tournament appearances, the team has managed to win their Conference Championship 8 different times. These championships were split between two conferences. Four of the championships came while playing in the WAC. The other 4 championships came while playing in the BOR.
The team has never been a perennial threat to make the top 25. They simply have not had a huge base of talent coming in and out of the university over the years. The team has had its bright spots though. The brightest spot came in the 1980-81 season. The team was led by the likes of Byron Scott, Alton Lister and Fat Lever. Many people wouldnt recognize all of those names, but Byron Scott is a name that most basketball fans remember.
Scott was known for his great scoring ability. Much of his scoring came from a jump shot that is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful strokes of all time. While Scott was leading the way the Sun Devils managed to climb up the national rankings. They managed to land as the #3 team in the nation at one point during that season. This ranking represents the highest ranking that the team has ever achieved to this point.
The team is currently in a mindset of changing the schools attitude towards the sport. While they have not won any championships, they have started to win a lot more games. The team has managed to win at least 20 games 3 different times under the leadership of their current coach Herb Sendek. Sendek even managed to lead the Sun Devils team to a Pac-10 tournament championship game. While the Sun Devils were not able to win the championship game, they did manage to get some momentum leading into the NCAA tournament. This momentum allowed them to win their first round game and advance to the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament in 2009.

1965 season in the NBA
By Edwin Leonard
 The 1965-66 NBA Season would be the 20th season in the history of the NBA. The league was in a stretch at this point that was dominated by the likes of the Boston Celtics. While the Lakers were a tough rival in the opposite conference, the Celtics had managed to win 7 straight NBA Championships to this point.
The Celtics would find themselves in stiff competition in this season. While they were the favorites to take the league in that season after winning so many consecutive championships, they would have to pass through the likes of Wilt Chamberlain and the Philadelphia 76ers.
Chamberlain was a dominant player that managed to lead the league in almost every major category. He went on to score the most points, pull down the most rebound and shoot the ball at a higher percentage than any other player in the league during the 1965-66 season. With Wilt leading the way the team managed to take the honors of having the best record in the NBA through the regular season. They managed to win 55 games. This total was one more than what the Celtics were able to achieve that season.
On the other end the Lakers were once again leading the way in the Western Division. The Western Division was admittedly the weaker division of the two and the Lakers were the only squad to win more than 50 percent of their games. The Lakers were a solid team however and were led by NBA legend Jerry West.
West and Chamberlain would make up two of the 5 players in the All-NBA First Team. The other players that would achieve this honor were the great Oscar Robertson, Jerry Lucas and Rick Barry.
Wilt Chamberlain would go on to win the Most Valuable Player award. Rick Barry was just a rookie that season and would win the Rookie of the Year award after making the All-NBA First Team. The Coach of the Year honors would go to Dolph Schayes, the coach of the 76ers.
6 of the 9 teams in the league would make the playoffs. Each division would send the top 3 teams in the league to the playoffs. The bottom two teams from each division would square off for a chance to take on the top team in the Division.
The Celtics would manage to win the first series despite falling behind 2-1 to the Royals, led by Robertson. In the west, the St. Louis Hawks managed to take home a victory. These teams would square off against the 76ers and Lakers.
The Lakers managed to pull out a series victory and would make it to the finals. The Celtics managed to take 4 of 5 away from the 76ers despite the fact that Chamberlain scored 28 points and averaged 30 rebounds per game.
The Lakers and Celtics squared off again and would finish the Finals in dramatic fashion. The two teams went the distance, stretching the series to 7 games. Boston was able to pull things out in a close 95-93 game to finish things off, winning their 8th NBA Championship in a row.
