Diogu must be close to perfect to save ASU.(The East Valley Tribune)
Byline: Scott Bordow
It may not be fair to ask Ike Diogu to be Superman every time he steps onto a basketball court.
But he can't be Clark Kent, either.
Perhaps it was inevitable, Washington's 79-70 victory over Arizona State on Sunday at Wells Fargo Arena.
The Huskies are everything the Sun Devils want to be: Athletic, deep, nationally ranked and, most importantly, an NCAA tournament team.
Washington would have had to stub its toe for ASU to get the signature victory it might need come March.
There was one other possibility: Diogu.
