Gotta be top 10.

Agree that it’s gonna be hard to keep Hurley if they continue this run.

We got him for this season, I’m just gonna enjoy the ride

Arizona basketball would not have reached its heights if Olson hadn't turned down Kentucky.

Hurley could do the same for ASU - make a name for ASU

Hopefully the school will fund the program appropriately and Hurley will want to stay. Maybe his family loves the weather. : )

ASU reminds me quite a bit of UCLA last year. 3 guards that spread the floor, UCLA more with the 3 you guys with drives. Then a big that can shoot and a 4 that can post up and score inside. So far I think you guys defend better but don't shoot the 3 as well.

Right now ASU is the best team in the conference

It's just nice to see the Sun Devils relevant again.

Great for ASU man. Not going to pretend to be a huge ASU fan but I follow them,,, when they're good. Saw they were playing Kansas today and recorded it and was totally shocked at the outcome! Good for them man.

I know we are all excited about Hurley. but...

Notice something about this team. There are times Hurley has barely been coaching at all because the players on the court are basically playing lights out. I see some really special chemistry among these players. Intuitive, instinctual... it's fun to watch. And, of course, hats off to Hurley for creating that environment for them. And, for knowing when to step back and just ride the hot hand.

Hurley even said that he didn’t have to coach a whole lot because Evans, Holder, and Martin were playing so well.

I didn’t get to watch the game, but the highlights showed some great defense and sharp shooting. Very impressive!

Having a four year starter at PG and then a couple other 5th year guys in the starting lineup definitely helps any coach.

I'm happy for ASU, the Nike/Adidas shoe company thing in college basketball make it so that we rarely recruit against each other so one's success has minimal negative impact on the other as it would in football.

It's good for the state of Arizona and the Pac-12 as well.
