Arizona State fans storm court after team stuns Kansas

Mar 4, 2026 - 06:00

Arizona State basketball can only advance to the NCAA Tournament by going on a miraculous run in what could be the most arduous conference tournament in the country. Achieving this seemingly insurmountable feat will be a bit more manageable if the Sun Devils enter Kansas City, Missouri’s T-Mobile Center with some momentum. They should be much more confident after earning a 70-60 upset win versus No. 14 Kansas on Tuesday night.

Already in desperation mode, Arizona State shut down possible No. 1 overall draft pick Darryn Peterson and outlasted the Jayhawks in an ugly offensive matchup. Despite shooting 32 percent from the field and getting out-rebounded by 12, Bobby Hurley’s squad was able to get to the free-throw line and grind its way to a second straight victory over a ranked opponent. The veteran head coach’s future in Tempe remains murky amid another mediocre campaign, but he can still create a magical moment on occasion.

Sun Devils fans swarmed the court inside Desert Financial Arena following this Big 12 stunner.
