The last home game in coach Bobby Hurley's 11-year tenure at Arizona State will likely be against the Kansas Jayhawks on March 3. Hurley's best wins at ASU came against Kansas, including a 95-85 victory at Allen Fieldhouse in 2017-18 and an 80-76 win over the then-No. 1 Jayhawks in Tempe the following year. However, Hurley's future at ASU has been uncertain, as the school did not offer him a contract extension, and he has been operating as a lame-duck coach this season.
Why it matters
Hurley's tenure at Arizona State is coming to an end, and this game against Kansas will likely be his final home game with the Sun Devils. The matchup is fitting, as Hurley's two biggest wins at ASU came against the Jayhawks, one of college basketball's blue bloods. This game represents the end of an era for Hurley at ASU, as the school looks to move in a new direction with its men's basketball program.
The details
In the 2017-18 season, ASU traveled to Lawrence, Kansas and upset the then-No. 2 Jayhawks 95-85, led by strong performances from Tra Holder, Shannon Evans, and Remy Martin. The following year, ASU returned the favor, beating the top-ranked Jayhawks 80-76 at home, with Rob Edwards leading the way. However, Hurley's future at ASU has been uncertain, as the school did not offer him a contract extension, and he has been operating as a lame-duck coach this season. Despite the roster turnover and injuries, ASU has managed to improve its conference record from a year ago in its inaugural Big 12 season.
