Meet Arizona Basketball Star Brayden Burries' Parents, Bobby Burries and Hannah Low-Burries

Brayden Burries comes from a long line of athletes, since both his dad, Bobby Burries, and mom, Hannah Low-Burries, played basketball

NEED TO KNOW

• Arizona basketball player Brayden Burries’ parents, Bobby and Hannah, were both college athletes who met at California State University San Bernardino
• Brayden’s older brother, BJ, also played college basketball and now works as a graduate assistant on Arizona’s men’s basketball team
• Both Bobby and Hannah attend Brayden’s games and show up in custom merch

Brayden Burries may be one of the top recruits playing in March Madness 2026, but he's following in both his parents' footsteps.

The Arizona Wildcats guard started playing basketball from his young age, since both his dad, Bobby Burries, and his mom, Hannah Low-Burries, both played college basketball. The couple met while playing at California State University San Bernardino and married in 2001.

Bobby and Hannah remained in California and welcomed five children together: sons Robert Burries Jr. (BJ) and Brayden and daughters Brianna, Brealani and Brielle. BJ also played college basketball but now works as a graduate assistant coach on his brother's team.

As Brayden has helped lead the Wildcats to the Final Four in the 2026 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship, he has had the support of his parents cheering him on from the sidelines. The duo have even made custom shirts with their son's face plastered on them.

Here's everything to know about Brayden Burries' parents, Bobby Burries and Hannah Low-Burries.

His parents met while playing basketball at the same college

Brayden inherited the athletic gene from both Bobby and Hannah. Bobby and Hannah played basketball for the California State University San Bernardino's men's and women's teams, respectively.

Bobby got his collegiate start at San Bernardino Valley Junior College before transferring to CSUSB in 2000, per his CSUSB Hall of Fame profile. He went on to lead the team to three California Collegiate Athletic Association titles, three NCAA West Region title appearances and its second appearance in the NCAA Elite Eight in four years.

He graduated in 2004 and was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame in 2011.

Meanwhile, Hannah also had her own list of athletic accomplishments. Hannah played volleyball, softball and basketball in high school before continuing her basketball and softball career at Merced College, per her Summerville Union High School Hall of Fame bio.

She received several honors — including two-time MVP of her league and California Player of the Year — before transferring to the University of Tennessee to play softball. She later accepted a full scholarship to CSUSB to play basketball.

Brayden has previously credited his parents' work ethic in helping him become the athlete he is today.

“That’s helped me get to the point where I’m at today,” he told Arizona Desert Swarm in August 2025.

Brayden and his four siblings were raised in California

Shortly after Bobby and Hannah got married, they started their family and welcomed sons BJ and Brayden and daughters Brianna, Brealani and Brielle. The family established roots in San Bernardino, Calif.

Brayden played basketball at Eleanor Roosevelt High School, where he was ranked No. 11 in the country and became a five-star recruit, per his Arizona roster.

In April 2025, Brayden committed to play basketball at Arizona, and his parents proudly stood by his side at the press conference where he announced his plans.

Just a month later, his older brother, BJ, who played college basketball at Mesa Community College, announced that he'd be supporting his brother's team as a graduate assistant with Arizona's men's basketball team.

“It’s honestly great continuing to get to know each other, push each other,” Brayden told Arizona Desert Swarm. “Days I don’t feel like it, like say I don’t want to do something. He’s there to push me and make sure I get it done. And it’s great to have somebody like that.”

Bobby and Hannah frequently attend Brayden's games with custom merch

Even before Brayden helped lead the Wildcats to the Final Four, his parents could often be seen cheering him on in the crowds.

In a March 2026 video with Geico, Bobby revealed that he has "not missed one of [Brayden's] games yet."

When the Burries do show up, they can be seen nervously standing, shouting and cheering Bradyen and the Wildcats on, as shown in a Bleacher Report video that mic'd them up. They've further shown their support by making custom merch with their son's face and name printed all over shirts in Arizona colors.

Brayden has cited his success to his family's "sacrifices" for him

Throughout his basketball journey, Brayden has had the support of his family. In the father-son duo's March 2026 video with Geico, Bobby and Brayden explained that Bobby frequently drove his son all over the country to compete in tournaments.

"He's the true definition of cream rises to the top," Bobby said of his son.

Meanwhile, Brayden also acknowledged all the long hours and everything his family has done for him.

"It's just a blessing honestly," Brayden said. "Just to give back to him and my teammates and my family for all the sacrifices they’ve put in."
