Lawrence, Kansas -- Bobby Hurley sat in front of the media Sunday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse, primed to speak about yet another historic victory he had managed over the Kansas Jayhawks during his career.
This time, though, he wasn’t playing. He stood on the James Naismith court in Lawrence in a suit and tie, leading his No. 16 Arizona State Sun Devils (9-0) to a historic 95-85 victory over the No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks (7-2) and imparting his wisdom on a trio of guards that may soon become household names.
Senior guards Tra Holder and Shannon Evans, alongside freshman Remy Martin, combined for 72 points in a building Kansas had lost in just ten times during Bill Self’s 15 seasons with the Jayhawks.
