TEMPE - Sun Devil Men's Basketball will experience one of college basketball's most iconic atmospheres when ASU travels to Durham to take on Duke in an exhibition game prior to the start of the 2024-25 season.
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 3:30 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."
DUKE LEGEND
Bobby Hurley was inducted into the Duke Athletics Hall of Fame in 2011 and is part of a select group to have their jersey retired in Cameron Indoor Stadium. The #11 jersey was hung in the rafters by Duke on Feb. 28, 1993. While a Blue Devil, he broke the NCAA men's basketball record for career assists with 1,076 and sparked the Blue Devils to a four-year record of 119-26 (.821) with three Final Four appearances and back-to-back national championships in 1991 and 1992. In addition to his record-breaking assists, he was named the 1992 NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player in addition to being a two-time All-America selection (1992, 1993). He finished his illustrious Duke career with 1,731 points, 306 rebounds and 202 steals from 1989-93.
"I've always had a ton of respect and admiration for Bobby Hurley," Scheyer added. "He's one of the all-time great players to ever play college basketball, let alone Duke. His 1991 team was the team that won our first national championship, and his 1992 team was the team where I fell in love with Duke and fell in love with college basketball. The records, the national championships and wins speak for themselves, but to me it's the tenacity that he played with, the incredible competitiveness and toughness, and coming through in the big-time moments. It's an honor to play this game and celebrate Bobby at Duke. It's also a great opportunity for both teams to compete at a high level before the season starts."
SERIES HISTORY
Arizona State and Duke have met on one previous occasion, a 64-53 Blue Devils' victory at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 25, 2009 in the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off. Guards Derek Glasser and Trent Lockett led the way with 13 points each for the Sun Devils, with forward Rihards Kuksiks adding 12 of his own.
