It hasn't been the easiest season for Arizona State head coach Bobby Hurley. Those struggles continued Tuesday in a 90-78 loss to TCU.
A sideline scuffle between the two teams resulted in Hurley getting knocked to the floor early in the second half. The fun began when a trap by Arizona State's Andrija Grbović and Bryce Ford forced a timeout, with the two continuing to be physical with TCU's Brock Harding after the whistle.
Players, coaches and staff from both teams rushed to the Sun Devils' sideline once the shoving began, with Hurley physically pushing back Horned Frogs center Vianney Salatchoum. TCU head coach Jamie Dixon then got involved, and Hurley appeared to fall down after tripping over someone's feet.

The incident didn't result in any ejections, nor did Hurley appear harmed by the fall.
Regardless, it was another bad day for a coach widely seen as being on the hot seat as the calendar nears March. Tuesday's loss marks a second straight loss for Arizona State, which lost 73-68 to Baylor on Saturday.
The Sun Devils now hold a 5-10 record in Big 12 play, tying them for 12th worst in the conference. They finished 15th last year with a 4-16 record as well.
Hurley outright admitted to having "failed" to get through to his team last month and his contract expires at the end of this season, making it easy for Arizona State to move on if it chooses.
