Believe it or not, Bobby Hurley and the Arizona State Sun Devils are still playing basketball.

Despite finishing 13-19 and in second-to-last place in the Big 12, the Sun Devils accepted an invitation to play in the inaugural College Basketball Crown postseason tournament in Las Vegas. The tournament tips off on Monday with Arizona State facing Nebraska (17-14) at 5:30 p.m. PT/MST.

After losing Joson Sanon and Brandon Gardner to the transfer portal last week, Hurley's already thin rotation got even smaller. Freshman Jayden Quaintance is still out with a knee injury, which leaves Hurley with five rotation players, plus freshman Trevor Best who enrolled at ASU in December.

The College Basketball Crown (CBC) is a new alternative postseason tournament for teams that didn't make the NCAA Tournament. The first two rounds of the tournament will be played at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and the semifinals and finals will be played at T-Mobile Arena just down the street. All games will be televised on FOX or FS1.

Three Big 12 teams are in the tournament: Arizona State, Colorado and Utah. If the Sun Devils beat Nebraska they'll play the winner of Georgetown vs. Washington State on Wednesday.

Here's the full first-round CBC schedule:

Monday, March 31
