Arizona State Sun Devils coach Bobby Hurley has every right to be proud of the college basketball program he's built. With much of the rest of the Pac-12 having been a relative disaster, ASU has managed to make a few trips to the NCAA Tournament.

According to the head coach, though, this is only the start of something bigger.

“I feel like we’ve positioned ourselves well,” Bobby Hurley said via The AP. “No one in the Pac-12′s going to care that we’re the only Pac-12 school to go to the tournament the last two years. It’s a clean slate as far as I’m concerned, but I do take a lot of pride in that. It’s been a big climb. We have a bunch of guys in the locker room that know how to do that and expect to do that. That’s kind of the standard now.”

The Arizona State Sun Devils lost Luguentz Dort and Zylan Cheatham from last season. However, there's a good group coming back from a squad that managed to win the program's first NCAA Tournament game since a decade.

What's more is that Bobby Hurley, who tends to be rumored for jobs each offseason, appears in it for the longer haul. At least for the time being.
