ASU Basketball: Sun Devils face Bobby Hurley’s former team in Round of 64

All week long, Bobby Hurley was hoping to not let the cat out of the bag. His team had another game to take care of — St. John’s — before a reunion with his prior school was even possible.

But, by virtue of Arizona State’s 74-65 win over St. John’s in the First Four, the perceived cruelty of the NCAA Tournament’s selection committee came to life: the Sun Devils advanced to play Buffalo — where Hurley began his head coaching career — and his protege, current Bulls’ coach Nate Oats, in the first round of the tournament.
