Battle of the devils
Arizona State Head Coach Bobby Hurley will make his return to Cameron Indoor Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 27, as the Sun Devils will take on the Blue Devils in the 'Brotherhood Run' charity exhibition game. The game is scheduled to tip-off at 4 PM MST and will represent a reunion of Duke Men's Basketball national champions with Bobby Hurley and Jon Scheyer leading their respective squads. All proceeds from the event will benefit Duke Children's Hospital.
"We are excited about the Brotherhood Run, playing Arizona State for a charity exhibition game. This is the first time we've done something like this," Duke Head Coach Jon Scheyer told GoDuke.com. "Duke Children's Hospital has been a great partner to our program for a long time, starting with Coach K, and to keep that relationship going means a lot to me and to our program. We couldn't be more excited to partner with them to raise funds and awareness for all the incredible work they are doing."
"I'm grateful to Jon Scheyer and Duke Basketball for working with Arizona State Basketball to make this exhibition game a reality," Hurley remarked. "It will be special for me to return to Cameron Indoor. Our team is excited for the opportunity to compete against a storied basketball program prior to embarking on our regular season schedule. The collaboration between Duke and Arizona State to put together this charity exhibition game supporting Duke Children's Hospital is very meaningful to both programs."
