The Arizona State Sun Devils enter their ninth season under head coach Bobby Hurley. In the eight seasons with Hurley, the Sun Devils have been neither great nor terrible, and have tended to be in the middle of the Pac-12 standings. Hurley has taken ASU to the NCAA tournament three times; in 2018, 2019, and 2023. In each appearance, the Sun Devils did not get past the first round.
