Arizona State, coach Bobby Hurley taking heat for actions in loss to rival Arizona
College basketball freshmen who are making a case to be lottery picks
Here are 3 freshmen who are playing their way into becoming lottery picks for the 2025 NBA Draft.
Few players on the Arizona or Arizona State men’s basketball teams are natives of the Valley. And the Sun Devils only have two players back from last year’s team.
If they weren’t fully aware of the intensity of the Territorial Cup rivalry, they are now.
The latest installment came on Saturday morning with the visiting Wildcats storming to an 81-72 victory at Desert Financial Arena. The win propelled the Wildcats (15-6, 9-1) to a tie atop the Big 12 standings with Houston, which was upset by Texas Tech in overtime later in the night.
It was a competitive game but it was the ending that incensed Arizona fans and sent social media circles buzzing.
The end of the game featured the ejection of Arizona’s Caleb Love and ASU’s B.J. Freeman, the leading scorers for their respective teams, after Freeman headbutted the Arizona player. Freeman was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul for the incident.
After the game ASU coach Bobby Hurley chalked up his player’s misguided action to what he called constant trash-talking on the part of the visitors. No doubt there was added frustration at the inability to close out a close game, yet again.
In the closing seconds, Hurley sent his bench players to the locker room with his starters following after the final second ticked off the clock. Hurley explained that as heated as the end of the game was, he didn’t want to see the situation escalate in the handshake line.
“I just saw that it was very heated and there were possibilities that something else could have happened and I was going to avoid that,” Hurley said. “I wanted to avoid any further confrontation.”
Senior guard Adam Miller was the ASU player brought into the postgame interview room and took the high road by choosing not to comment on the events that unfolded at the end of the contest.
It certainly wasn’t a good look for Hurley or the university, especially since the game aired nationally on CBS. Many ASU fans are frustrated with Hurley’s sideline antics, and this is just the latest incident.
Richard Jefferson, former NBA player and broadcaster was among those slamming Hurley on social media. Jefferson is a former Arizona player, so it isn’t surprising.
Hurley was assessed a technical foul with 5:13 left in the first half for objecting to a foul that had been called on Miller. The Sun Devils were ahead 21-19 at the time.
Hurley’s competitive nature, which made him a legend and a two-time national champion in his playing days at Duke, has carried over into his coaching career.
There will be a rematch between Arizona and ASU (12-9, 3-7) at McKale Center on March 4 in the next to last game of the regular season. Arizona is 10-1 on its home floor and the Sun Devils are going to be in desperation mode, their NCAA postseason hopes already seemingly on life support.

Why Milan Momcilovic Choosing Arizona Would Be Tough Blow for Iowa State Basketball
As the Iowa State Cyclones continue to reflect on what was a strong season, one of their top players from last year is in the portal and is the best player available.
After deciding to come back to college a couple of days ago, Milan Momcilovic is now the best player in the portal and has a number of suitors looking to bring him in. Due to the large amount of money that he is expected to get, it would be a complete shock if he came back to Iowa State at this point. However, where he goes could have an impact on the program.
Last season, the junior had a breakout year and emerged as one of the best shooters in the country. While there is still work to be done to translate his game to the next level, he is an impact player in college basketball.
However, where he might go is the big decision everyone is waiting to see. Currently, it appears to be a three-horse race between the Arizona Wildcats, Kentucky Wildcats, and the Louisville Cardinals. Of the three, the Cyclones certainly don’t want to see him go to one of those schools.
Momcilovic Choosing Arizona Would Be a Tough Blow
If the star shooter for the Cyclones were to choose the Wildcats, it would be a tough blow for Iowa State. While the Cyclones had a great season this year, it was Arizona that was a thorn in their side.
The Wildcats were able to beat them both in their regular-season matchup and then again in the Big 12 tournament. The game in the Big 12 was an absolute thriller and went right down to the wire.
While Iowa State might have lost, it was Momcilovic who had a fantastic game in the showdown. Now, as the talented sharpshooter mulls his decision on where to play next year, seeing him go to Arizona would be a tough blow for the Cyclones.
This was a team that beat them twice last year, and taking one of their best players would likely result in the Wildcats being considered a better team heading into next season as well.
While Iowa State did a great job in the transfer portal and has some young talent coming back, losing the best three-point shooter in the country is a big blow. Furthermore, since Kentucky and Louisville aren’t in the Big 12, seeing Momcilovic join one of those squads wouldn’t sting or have an impact on the Cyclones nearly as much.

Arizona GOP attorney general debate turns personal with insults, name-calling
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The two Republicans running for Arizona attorney general faced each other Thursday in a debate that devolved into insults and name-calling.
State Senate President Warren Petersen is running against military attorney Rodney Glassman in the Republican primary. The debate turned chaotic as the candidates clashed.
“Are you asking the questions, Steve?” Petersen said.
The moderator attempted to regain control. “Gentlemen, we’re going to reset,” he said.
Candidates clash over experience
The debate was the last before early voting begins next month. In between the name-calling, the two candidates argued over their resumes.
Glassman said Petersen does not have the legal experience for the job.
“Warren is just full of information, you can call them lies. He received his law license in December 2023, 28 months ago. He has never filed a lawsuit as a lawyer. He has never prosecuted a criminal as a lawyer,” Glassman said.
Petersen has had a law license for less than three years. He said he worked on cases in Scottsdale while earning his degree. Petersen said his experience as the current state Senate president also counts.
“I have done more in three years than Rodney Glassman will even get done in his life because he’s a trust fund baby who’s just looking for a place. He’s been running for 15 years and he’s lost six elections in a row,” Petersen said.
History of campaigns
Glassman has not won an elected office since he served as a Democrat on the Tucson City Council in 2007. Glassman is an Air Force attorney with 17 years of experience.
Democratic strategist Matt Grodsky said the real winner was the incumbent, Kris Mayes.
“I thought it was entertaining television. I’m glad Arizona got to see up close why these two individuals should be nowhere near the AG’s office,” Grodsky said.
Voting in the primary begins June 24.
