The media got their first look at the 2015 Arizona State men's basketball team Tuesday, with Bobby Hurley at the helm.
Hurley, former head coach at Buffalo, played for five years in the NBA and won two NCAA championships as a player at Duke.
The Sun Devils take his past as a token of credibility toward their future. Senior Guard Gerry Blakes said it gives he and his teammates the drive to compete harder and embrace the new system Hurley is creating in order to find the vindication Hurley found 24 years ago.
"It excites us," Blakes said.
