Following a 15-17 record and the departure of five players, including two transfers, Arizona State University’s Athletic Director Ray Anderson made a big statement by extending the contract of men’s basketball Head Coach Bobby Hurley through 2021.
To some this may seem like a questionable decision given the lack of success the team had in Pac-12 play. However, it was Hurley’s first season in Tempe and the Sun Devils exceeded expectations in non-conference play, picking up victories against North Carolina State, Creighton, Stephen F. Austin and Texas A&M.
These are just a few reasons why Hurley and the Sun Devils will rebound in a big way in 2016.
