"I don't think it's me, I really don't. I know it could be a nice, little storyline or something, but I really believe this is who they are. We lost our way for a few weeks and had a hard time winning some games in a very difficult league, but we picked ourselves off the mat and I think we're playing as good as we were at any point in the season because of our defense."
"I think these kids just want to win and players like Moe Odum still believes there's hope, and I do as well until someone tells us otherwise and someone outplays us and puts an end to what we're doing right now."
"So it wasn't like, 'Oh no, this is coach's last home game,' Like no. I want to keep winning so coach don't go nowhere 'cause that's my coach."
Arizona State upset No. 14 Kansas 70-60 in a victory that could be Bobby Hurley's final home game. Despite fan celebration, Hurley maintained composure, focusing on his team's performance rather than personal storylines. He attributed the win to the team's defensive play and ability to recover after losing their way during a difficult stretch in the Big 12. With a 16-14 record and needing an NCAA tournament berth or Big 12 tournament success to save his job, Hurley expressed confidence in his players' desire to win. Star player Moe Odum, who scored 23 points, praised Hurley as the greatest coach he's played for and expressed commitment to keeping him at Arizona State.
