Arizona State HC addresses team's 'trainwreck' performance in exhibition loss to Duke

The Arizona State Sun Devils traveled to Durham, North Carolina, on Sunday for an exhibition game against the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils, where they were demolished 103-47 in a less-than-ideal preview to the program's upcoming college basketball season. Thankfully for the Sun Devils, the game won't count toward their record.

The contest was organized as part of a fundraising effort benefitting Duke Children's Hospital . However, that didn't stop head coach Bobby Hurley , a national champion player for Duke in 1991 and 1992, from unloading on his players' performance in his postgame news conference. Bobby Hurley had a few interesting comments following ASU's 103-47 loss to Duke: "It was a trainwreck .

"I don't think I'll have guys wondering why they're not starting in the opener. I don't think I'll have guys worried about shot attempts." ASU shot a measly 28.

ASU now has just nine days to get right and prepare for its season opener against Idaho State on Nov. 5. "I think by the end of this week hopefully we'll learn something from this," Hurley said.
