Bobby Hurley Zylan Cheatham Us Pac-12 Men's Basketball Tournament Friday, March 15 2019 Bobby Hurley Zylan Cheatham us. Arizona State We were a little bit careless with the ball in overtime, and that's kind of what we were doing early in the Oregon - 79, Arizona State - 75 (OT) game as well. So we reverted back to that where we didn't need to turn it over. BOBBY HURLEY: I thought it was an outstanding college basketball game. High-level game. I'm -- I Q. Coach, Remy Cleary wasn't at 100 percent. Just don't have anything to be ashamed of, we don't, the your thoughts on what he did tonight. way the guys competed and fought. BOBBY HURLEY: He gutted it out because he's a warrior, and he was probably 60 to 75 percent of what And especially after not starting the game very well Remy Martin would normally be. But he was moving and having a huge deficit early to -- loved the response fairly well at times out there. And we're going to have of the team and how we fought to get ourselves back in six or seven days to get him -- to get him healthy. So the game. we already spoke, and he doesn't think it's going to be an issue next week when we play him. I think that's a little bit of proof of just how we've been over the last several weeks and how hard it is next Q. What specifically was the injury? Thursday or Friday for a team to beat us because of BOBBY HURLEY: He tweaked his groin. At the just the grit and the will to win and got a bunch of morning we're calling it like a strained groin. He went winners and playmakers. in and got it taped, and then he came back out. As the game progressed, he started moving better and better So it's been a great thrill to coach these guys in this as it became warmer and he got a little loose out there. tournament, and hats off to Oregon. They've been I have complete confidence that he'll be fine. playing very well. They made a lot of big shots late in the game. Amin's shot in the right corner was a huge Q. The last possession in regulation, if you could turning point in the game. walk us through that? BOBBY HURLEY: Yeah, well, we got the offensive So I think this shows the people across the United rebound. We were -- there was a bit of a scramble. I States to watch the Pac-12 Tournament. Might have know that Zylan attempted to call a timeout. The seen two high-level teams playing. So it may not be as coaches can't call a timeout in that situation. bad as everyone thinks. Apparently the ref did not see him call a timeout. At that point the clock was winding down, and Rob just Q. In the overtime period, they were really working tried to make the best of what he could do with it. to get the ball into their point guard's hand, Pritchard, and get some mismatches on the Q. When it comes to the motivation these guys switches. What did you think kind of happened in have had, obviously so much hunger throughout that whole sequence and what were you trying to this tournament. What does that say about them, do? of course, and moving forward for this program as BOBBY HURLEY: I think the main thing that went a mentality? wrong in overtime, to be honest, was losing Z [Zylan BOBBY HURLEY: These guys have proven time and Cheatham], getting his fifth foul with four minutes to go. time again that they're winners and they want the big He's such a big part of us winning games. It's hard to game and the big stage, and that's what this was. It overcome that as defense and everything he does to was a terrific night. Great tournament. Pac-12 does help us win. an awesome job of putting on a great event at T- Mobile, on ESPN. The one time we didn't do a good job of it was in regulation with I believe with Paul White. We allowed And I think they were up for the challenge, really played him to get open, and we didn't switch properly, and he a a high-level game. And that's really what it's going to wide-open three. So that was the main one that hurt Rev #1 by #206 at 2019-03-16 06:45:00 GMT page 1 of 2 take next week in the NCAA Tournament. If we're good energy and effort. They have a great shot block going to go, we're going to go like this. Someone is and presence around the basket. They've been playing going to rip our heart out to beat us. We've got great defense. This is probably the most successful winners. We've got playmakers. We've got athleticism. anyone has been in terms of scoring on them over the We've got great competitors. It was a privilege for me last couple of weeks. to coach this group. Q. You guys got off to a terrible start, and yet you were able to maintain their surge, and you were in the game at halftime. What was the thought at halftime, that even though you didn't play well, you were still in the game. ZYLAN CHEATHAM: Basketball is a game of runs. We just tried to stay with it. Just tried to keep making plays, not get down on ourselves. It's a 40-minute game. I think we did that. We showed some good things in the first half. Q. Last night you said that there wasn't any uncertainty with the tournament bid. But not getting to the championship game, do you think that diminishes your chances at all to make it to the Big Dance? BOBBY HURLEY: Absolutely not. Again, you look at our résumé, we have 11 quad 1 and 2 wins. We're 11- 6 versus those two quads. And there aren't almost any teams that are in the 8, 9, 10, 11 line that can say that. And the non-conference wins are important. We put ourselves -- we stuck our neck out and put it on the line to play Kansas and Mississippi State and Utah State teams that are having very successful season. And then we went in our league and won 12 games in a Power Conference and finished second. So when you put that whole package together, when the Committee looks at our season, our entire season, I think we'll be rewarded for being great in the non- conference, beating the No. 1 team in the country at one point during the season, and then having a very strong effort in the league. And then to lose in overtime like this and really playing at a high level, I think that that shows that we're playing very well at the right time of the year. Q. You saw Oregon early in the season, and you've seen them twice during the streak of theirs. What's different about that team, about Oregon? BOBBY HURLEY: I think that they've developed some cohesiveness. And I know that they had a lot of injuries, and they had a guy like Louis King back and get a few weeks of games under his belt where he gets some experience. He's a handful. He really kind of made some big plays. I think when we went up eight, he really hit some big shots in the second half. And then their guarding, they really were guarding with Rev #1 by #206 at 2019-03-16 06:45:00 GMT page 2 of 2.

  • Zylan Cheatham and the Significance of 20 Rebounds
    Arizona State’s Zylan Cheatham and the significance of 20 (times two) By Doug Haller, The Athletic (Feb. 3, 2019) Zylan Cheatham had 15 rebounds through regulation of Thursday’s clash with Arizona. Then the Arizona State senior forward took control. He grabbed the first five misses of the extra session, helping the Sun Devils post their first win over the Wildcats in coach Bobby Hurley’s four seasons. Cheatham finished with a career-best 22 rebounds, the second time in eight days he’s grabbed 20 or more. In basketball, certain numbers demand attention. Scoring 30 points might get you a headline, but 40 could land you in the school record book. Ten assists are fine, but 15 are memorable. For rebounds this number is 20. Twenty rebounds says something about a player. His drive. His toughness. His athletic ability. The 6-foot-8 Cheatham is the first ASU player to collect 20 rebounds in a game in more than 21 years. Entering Saturday, he was one of only 19 Division I players this season who had reached that number. One of only three who had done it twice. As Cheatham dominated overtime, his high school coach stayed glued to the television in Laveen. This was the player Jeremy Soria had coached at Phoenix South Mountain, where Cheatham seemed to flirt with 20 every night as a senior. The player who played hard no matter the situation or opponent. “The thing with Zylan, he just has a knack for the basketball,” Soria said. “He was always just a ball hawk.
