Eric Jacobsen Seeks Balance In Senior Season
Courtesy: Sun Devil AthleticsA loss to Marquette in the Legends Classic final in Brooklyn, New York on Nov. 24 was the kind of game Eric Jacobsen thought he had left behind.
He shed 15 pounds this offseason to improve his quickness and conditioning. He worked out all summer with former Sun Devil forward Jeff Ayres (formerly Jeff Pendergraph) at the Weatherup Center on his face-up game, his mid-range jumper and his leadership skills.
With center Jordan Bachynski having graduated, the 6-foot-10 post knew he needed to stay on the court for ASU to be successful. Instead, he played just seven minutes against the Golden Eagles before fouling out in a 78-73 overtime loss.
