Arizona State coach Bobby Hurley kept the attention on his team after the Sun Devils delivered an upset win over No. 14 Kansas, downplaying any focus on his own situation.
The victory came in what was described as a possible final home game for Hurley at Arizona State, but he steered the postgame message toward the players and the result on the floor rather than the broader context surrounding his tenure.
Arizona State’s win over a ranked Kansas squad stood out as a marquee result, with the Sun Devils knocking off the No. 14 team in the country on their home court.

In the aftermath, Hurley sought to keep the conversation centered on his roster and the effort that produced the upset, emphasizing the group’s performance instead of any personal storyline tied to the game.
Arizona State’s ability to take down a nationally ranked opponent provided a notable moment for the program, while Hurley continued to frame the night as a reflection of his players’ work and execution.
