In a mind-blowing course of events, the Arizona State Sun Devils were down 15-2 before taking down No. 2 Kansas, 95-85, in front of 16,000 in attendance at the Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday.
At 9-0 on the season, ASU tied its best start since the 1974-75 season.
The Sun Devils earned their first road win over a top-5 team since 1998.
Here’s how the Twitter world reacted:
BOBBY ****** HURLEY.

The unthinkable
Arizona State. The new No. 1 team in the country. Seriously.
— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) December 10, 2017
Arizona State is 9-0 with four top-50 KenPom wins. Destroyed Xavier. Beat Kansas by double-digits at Allen Fieldhouse. You could reasonably rank the Sun Devils No. 1 right now based on their resume.

What Sun Devil Nation is most afraid of
No one knows when Coach K will retire at Duke, but hard to think of a better potential replacement than Bobby Hurley. Fearless. Would embrace following a legend.
