New York, N.Y. — Last season, the Syracuse Orange squared off against Arizona State in the First Four of the 2018 NCAA Tournament. Jim Boeheim’s team went on to win that game against the Sun Devils. Of course, ASU is coached by Bobby Hurley, brother of UConn head coach Dan Hurley and erstwhile recruit of Boeheim himself.
Before committing to Duke, Boeheim recruited Bobby when he was playing for his father at St. Anthony’s in Jersey City, NJ. Dan admits that Syracuse was probably his brother’s second choice — he still has fond memories from the time he visited the Carrier Dome with his brother to watch Rony Seikaly, Derrick Coleman and Sherman Douglas play against Pittsburgh.
