GONNA’ PLAY FOLKS: Bobby Hurley will play people. In his freshman year after reviewing a schedule he inherited that included tilts against NC State at Brooklyn, Creighton, UNLV and eventual No. 18 Texas A&M, he put the wheels in motion to play in Kentucky and filled a vacation hole. it could have been a yawn with Stephen F. Austin. In 2016-17, the team played No. 1 Kentucky at Bahamas, Purdue at New York, San Diego, and finished a streak with No. 9 Creighton. Kansas returned to Tempe in December 2018 after ASU won on December 10, 2017. Villanova last year was the seventh top-10 non-conference opponent Bobby Hurley played in his six years, after ASU had faced one in the previous 17 seasons.
