Even Arizona State newcomer Torian Graham understands the bitterness in the rivalry between the Sun Devils and the Wildcats. Prior to ASU’s game Thursday at Arizona, he flipped off the Wildcats’ student section on his way to the locker room.

They say a team adopts the personality of its head coach, so Graham’s actions shouldn’t be too surprising. Earlier this week, Bobby Hurley said “F–k Tuscon” while addressing his team.

The Wildcats let the scoreboard do the talking as they won in a 91-75 blowout.
