This first half of the Pac-12 season has been a test for Arizona State. It’s also been a test for its coach.

As a point guard at Duke, Bobby Hurley went 119-26, winning two national championships over four years. But that doesn’t mean Hurley doesn’t know what it’s like to lose. In his fourth NBA season, the Sacramento Kings once lost 13 of 14.

As ASU struggled in Pac-12 action, losing five of its first six, Hurley carefully considered his approach.
