At the end of the first matchup between these two teams, it seemed that Arizona State’s morale was broken with the way Arizona danced off the court with the game-winner. Typically when a rematch between rivals is played, the losing team comes out firing in the second game, pissed off and ready to prove last time was just a fluke. ASU, however, did the complete opposite. The Sun Devils came out asleep, slow and as if they were just warming up for a pickup game at the Student Recreation Center by shooting contested three after contested three. It seemed as if Arizona head coach Sean Miller and his squad were the ones pissed off and ready to prove that their win on Thursday night wasn’t because of the referee's blowing a late call, as ASU head coach Bobby Hurley couldn’t stop mentioning. Arizona State didn’t score its first points of the game until there was 13:17 left in the first half, and they were lucky the score was only 13-2.

Myanmar’s military has detained leader Aung San Suu Kyi in a coup. Here’s what you need to know
(CNN)Myanmar's military seized power of the Southeast Asian country in a coup on Monday, after detaining the country's civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and numerous other top government figures. In a television address, the army announced that power had been handed to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and that it was declaring a national state of emergency for one year. Suu Kyi and several state ministers are being detained in the capital Naypyidaw, according to a spokesman for the governing National League for Democracy (NLD). An armed military soldier stands guard in front of the regional government office in Yangon, Myanmar, on February 1. The move comes after months of increasing friction between the civilian government and the powerful military, known as the Tatmadaw, over alleged election irregularities.

Anger and anxiety over what’s to come following Myanmar’s coup
(CNN)The streets of Myanmar's largest city, Yangon, appeared outwardly calm Tuesday morning, as residents made their way to work a day after the military detained Aung San Suu Kyi and other democratically-elected leaders and seized control of the country. But behind the business-as-usual facade, anxiety is growing among many as to what will come next. Memories of living under the brutal military rule of the past are seared into the minds and bodies of many Burmese people. Critics, activists, journalists, academics and artists were routinely jailed and tortured during nearly 50 years of isolationist rule. There are now fears that Monday's actions could be a prelude to a wider clampdown. In all, the new ruling junta removed 24 minsters and deputies from government over allegations of election fraud and named 11 of its own allies as replacements who will assume their roles in a new administration. On Tuesday, Health Minister Myint Htwe also announced on Facebook that he was leaving … [Read more...] about Anger and anxiety over what’s to come following Myanmar’s coup
Myanmar cuts Facebook access as military tightens grip following coup
Hong Kong (CNN)Internet and news services continued to be disrupted across Myanmar on Thursday, as the country's military sought to secure their grip on power after deposing the democratically-elected government earlier this week. Aung San Suu Kyi, the country's de facto leader, along with President Win Myint and dozens of other senior figures in their National League for Democracy (NLD) were detained in pre-dawn raids Monday. Hours later, the military declared that power had been handed to commander in chief Min Aung Hlaing, in response to unfounded allegations of election fraud. A state of emergency was declared for one year. Late Wednesday, an arrest warrant was issued for Suu Kyi over unspecified "import and export" offenses, while Win Myint was remanded in custody under the country's Disaster Management Law, according to an NLD spokesman. While the dramatic overthrow of Suu Kyi's government attracted international attention, continued disruptions to internet access and … [Read more...] about Myanmar cuts Facebook access as military tightens grip following coup
