ASU coach Bobby Hurley discusses how proud and happy he is that the Sun Devils received an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament on Sunday.
In some ways, given Arizona State’s up-and-down season, it’s fitting the Sun Devils open the NCAA Tournament in the First Four against Syracuse.
ASU has struggled all season against the zone. It’s a reason the Sun Devils crumbled during Pac-12 action, falling from the top of the national polls to the bottom of a weak conference. Now they face Syracuse, whose entire basketball culture is built around the zone.
