Seconds before the usual handshake line, Hurley then waved out Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd, and both squadrons went to their respective changing rooms.
Hurley was asked about the test and said he had no choice but to send his players to the dressing room, asked after his opponents showed ‘no class’.
“If you look directly near our bank, it was ruthlessly constantly babbling of a few of the Arizona players who were not checked properly. Of course they will be happy with winning, but it was done without a class, in my opinion, “Hurley said after the game.
“Words that were said back and forth led to the moment when Freeman lost his cool, because of the constant conversation that could continue. I had to make a difficult decision in the best interest of our team to get them in the locker so there so there would not be any further incident the rest of the game and in the handshake. “

Hurley then ended his press conference with a farewell shot, perhaps at Love.
“I get a voice for the All-Conference, and I can tell you who doesn’t get a voice,” he said.
Lloyd called the test ‘disappointing on all sides’.
“We want to be a program that when difficult things happen, we want to respond to the class. I don’t know if we have done that or not, but just a difficult moment in an emotional game. I have a lot of respect for Bobby and Arizona State , “Lloyd said.
The wildcats improved to 15-6 in the season and 9-1 in Big 12 game, while the Sun Devils are 12-9 general and 3-7 against opponents of the conference.
