Tonight's our night!

March madness is a real disease. Just ask valley residents that are catching now that the ASU women are one game away from the Final Four. SeattleSunDevil has more.......

So I guess this is it huh?

Charli’s Angels on the verge of Sun Devil immortality – Sun Devil greatness – A final four appearance.

All that is standing in the way? A date with Rutgers and the Lady Scarlet Knights.

Yes, that Rutgers.

It seems as though Rutgers and ASU have had a few dates with destiny in the last couple years starting with an epic bowl game. Downtown Phoenix was the scene for the first Rutgers bowl game since facing ASU in the 1978 Garden State Bowl. One can only hope for as thrilling of a game as that one, one in which the Devils pulled out a 45-40 win.

Turn the clock forward a year to the Paradise Jam championship game where once again the Rutgers Knights and Arizona State Sun Devils were to face off – a preview of a possible championship down the road – but then tragedy struck. Aubree Johnson, a forward for the Devils, found out that her brother had died in St. Thomas waiting to watch his big sister play in the championship. Rutgers graciously bowed out of the game not forcing ASU to forfeit, leaving the Paradise Jam championship for another year, another time.

The time is now.

It seems as though fate continues bringing these two programs together, just waiting for another instant classic between the two lesser-known powerhouses.

Rutgers – Arizona State. How sweet it may turn out to be – or should I say… How elite it will be.

A final four appearance hangs in the balance tonight.
