Arizona-Arizona State is one of the most intense rivalries in all of college sports— it was actually deemed the most intense in a recent study reported on by the New York Times—and there is nobody who better represents that than former UA forward Kevin Parrom.
The Bronx, New York native, who played for the UA from 2009 to 2013, was famously part of one of the most heated plays in the Territorial Cup’s recent history.
On Jan. 23, 2010, during Sean Miller’s first season at the UA, Parrom etched himself into Arizona basketball lore when he chased down ASU guard Ty Abbott and delivered a hard foul on the former Sun Devil as Abbott went up for a breakaway layup midway through the second half of a 77-58 Wildcats’ victory.
