The rivalry never dies, even with arguably bigger things at stake.
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr teased James Harden, the Houston Rockets guard, about his alma mater during Sunday's NBA Western Conference semifinal game.
Kerr was miked up at one point in the game, and when the national broadcast cut to him, he had a message ready for Harden.
"Arizona's a better school than ASU," Kerr said to Harden on the floor. The University of Arizona's athletics department, and others, posted video of the quip on social media.
