The Arizona State Sun Devils went 15–17 this past season—including a 5–13 mark in the Pac-12—and failed to make the NCAA Tournament. Do their students know this? Apparently not—at least not the ones they interviewed.

U of A’s “Flux Boys” set up shop on their rival campus and asked students what they thought ASU’s chances in the Big Dance were—even though they’re not there. The results were predictably hilarious.

From asking students about made-up ASU players like “Stephen Curry” and “Jeff Gordon” to telling them to give a quick motivational message to the team before their fictitious game against top-seeded Kansas in the Elite Eight, the guys really make the Sun Devils’ casual fans look silly.
