New ASU men's basketball coach Bobby Hurley's inaugural schedule is complete.
Sun Devil men's basketball announced their final non-conference opponent Monday, confirming that they will play Stephen F. Austin University on Dec. 22.
Had game to fill Dec. 22 after some things fell through. So why not play a team with 33 RPI and went 29-5? @SFA_MBB comes to Tempe this year
