Bobby Hurley needs no introduction to the college basketball world. The two-time champion with Duke and a past NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player is now coaching the Arizona State Sun Devils, who will take on TCU on Friday.
Despite sharing a name with his son, however, college basketball fans might need some time to get familiar with the younger Hurley.
Bobby Hurley Jr. has spent much of this season at the end of the Sun Devils' bench, with the guard playing in six games.
