Both teams have the stud returning sophomores who should be fun to watch. Johnson for WF and I can't remember the kid at ASU's name, but he might be one of the best players in the country.

James Harden for ASU, he averaged 17.8 points and 5.6 rebounds last year.

James Johnson is the kid from Wake, I dont know how the hell Cheyenne Wyoming produced a kid this talented. He has the body of Lebron James. He averaged 14.6 points and 8.1 rebounds last year.

Thank you. Harden has a chance to be special. I don't see Johnson as a future star (although I only saw him about 3 times last year), but if he continues to improve, he could be very good as well. Both should have a field day against BYU.

I am really interested to see Harden this year. He started out awesome last year, but kind of fell in love with his own shot a little bit. He was nowhere near the player in late Feb-March that he was in January. It will also be interesting to see how ASU does as the team everyone focuses on for the weekend. Having everyone worried about your travel partner makes your games a lot easier.
