Tucson, Ariz.- The McKale Center began to file out of the arena as A-S-U chants arose in enemy territory. The Sun Devil men's basketball team defeated the Arizona Wildcats 72-64 and swept the Wildcats (17-14; 8-10 Pac-12) for the first time since 2008-09.
"It was a connected group," said Bobby Hurley. "I was a team that was motivated to win in one of the toughest places to play in college basketball. I'm really proud of the effort tonight."
It was evident early on that both squads would fight like you'd expect, in rivalry fashion.
