Arizona State men's basketball coach Bobby Hurley and the Sun Devils will be facing a now-familiar challenge when they next take the floor.
The Sun Devils (15-6, 6-3) are coming an emotional 95-88 win over rival Arizona and twill be facing one of the teams they should beat — Washington State (8-14, 1-8) — Thursday at 6 p.m. at Wells Fargo Arena.
ASU faced a similar situation after beating Kansas, California, and UCLA. Each of those wins was followed by losses in should-win games against Princeton, Stanford, and USC, respectively.
