Temple, Arizona (AP) – Tommy Lloyd and Bobby Hurley met near the mid -haul area during the match, exchanging jokes, tapping each other in the back.
One afternoon of chirping and a late late sent the coaches to opposite directions when the rivalry match was finished.
Frustrated by the constant chatter of Arizona, Hurley beckon to the players of the Arizona State out of the ground after The victory of Route 81-72 of the Wildcats Saturday to avoid any new escalation.
“Just near our bench, it was a relentless and constant chatter of some Arizona players who were not properly monitored,” said Hurley. “Of course, they will be satisfied to win, but it was done without class, in my opinion.”
The rivalry of the territorial cup was mainly civil since Lloyd was hired at Arizona in 2021. The latest version followed a good part of the afternoon in Desert Financial Arena, apart from a technical fault of first Half-time on Arizona Jaden Bradley for having made a gesture.
He became wild as the Arizona moved away late.
Thirty-nine minutes of the trash can speak with 30 seconds to play, when BJ Freeman of Arizona State has kicked Caleb Love from Arizona on the track. Love staggered back and started towards Freeman before shouting on one of the officials at the head.
Love then started jaw on the Arizona State bench while being retained by a teammate and was ejected. Officials examined the room for several minutes before also deciding to expel Freeman.
“Obviously, it’s disappointing, – probably on all sides,” said Lloyd. “When difficult things happen, we want to be a program that responds with the class, and I don’t know if we did it or not. But it was a difficult moment in an emotional game. I have a lot of respect for Bobby and Arizona State players. »»
Hurley did not have the same feeling, at least in the heat of the consequences.
With the last seconds that ended, Hurley raised the tunnel to the locker room. He lingered along the baseline for the final game Inbound before hearing his remaining players frantically to leave the field instead of shaking hands.
Arizona’s head coach Jack Murphy tried to speak to one of Arizona State players near Midcourt, but Hurley agitated him with what seemed to be a few words of choice.
“The words that have been said in both directions led to the exchange with Freeman and he lost his cool with the constant conversation that was allowed to continue,” said Hurley. “I had to make the decision, in the best interest of our team, to bring them into the locker room so that there was no incident the rest of the game.”
Hurley spiced things even more at her post-match press conference, saying he has a vote for the All-Big 12 and that media members could guess for whom he would not vote-apparently talk about ‘love.
The rivals meet again on March 4 in Tucson. Close.
