TEMPE, Ariz. -- Torian Graham entered the game and started hitting shots right away, pouring in 3-pointers, flying in for a dunk in transition.Two years removed from his last game, it was like he never left.Graham scored 18 of his 23 points in the first half and Tra Holder added 23 points, helping Arizona State open its second season under Bobby Hurley with an 88-70 win over Portland State Friday night.I prepared very well this week, all the weeks and years before this, Graham said. I was ready for it.Shannon Evans added 19 points, Holder had four assists and Arizona State shot 50 percent to run past the Vikings after a slow start.The Sun Devils also had a 47-33 advantage in rebounds, led by Obinna Olekas 13.Braxton Tucker had 19 points and Bryce Canda 12 for Portland State, which went 6 for 27 from 3-point range.They can score in bunches and watching those two guards, theyre good, Portland State coach Tyler Geving said. And then Torian Graham is probably playing the best of their team right now.The Sun Devils were shaky early, missing their first five shots -- all at the rim -- and turning it over twice before scoring their first baskets 3 minutes in.Arizona State shook off those early jitters behind Graham.The 6-foot-4 senior played at Chipola Junior College in Florida, transferred to Houston, then Buffalo. He did not play at either school.Graham came off the bench in his first Division I game and immediately started making shots. He hit consecutive 3-pointers and had a dunk in transition , scoring 13 points in his first eight minutes to help the Sun Devils build a 10-point lead.Graham hit 7 of 8 shots and Holder had 12 points to put the Sun Devils up 44-30 at halftime.He does that every day in practice, Evans said. You guys are like, wow, but we see that every day.Arizona State scored the first seven points of the second half and was never challenged, though the Vikings managed to keep the Sun Devils from running away with it.I told the kids after, they competed, Geving said. They had a chance to maybe blow it open, but we fought back.BIG PICTUREThe Vikings showed grit at times, starting strong and rallying after a couple of Arizona State runs in the second half. A lopsided loss, but the kind of game that should help them once the Big Sky season rolls around.The Sun Devils picked up a nice, easy win to open the season and got a good look at Graham, who didnt get quite the same preseason hype as fellow Buffalo transfer Evans.CUNLIFFES DEBUTGuard Sam Cunliffe is Arizona States highest-rated freshman since James Harden in 2007, but was unable to make a big splash in his debut due to foul trouble. The 6-foot-7 guard was limited to 14 minutes, scoring 3 points on 1-of-3 shooting.BIG BLOCKArizona State freshman Jethro Tshisumpa is still a bit raw, but at 6-10 with long arms, he can sure send shots back, just like this one .DIFFICULT STARTPortland State opens the season with a difficult road trip, with a trip to Cal State-Fullerton next. Geving would like to get a split in the two games, but the real benefit could be down the line, once the Big Sky Conference season starts.We competed, so theres a lot of positives out of it and some of the things we didnt do well, at least weve got it on film and we can improve on it, he said.UP NEXTPortland State plays at Cal State-Fullerton on Sunday.Arizona State hosts Cal Poly on Sunday before heading to Orlando for the Tire Pros Invitational.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org Cheap Jerseys From China .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

Theyre not in holiday mode yet but Melbourne coach Paul Roos has declared the Demons 2016 AFL season a success.A first win over Hawthorn, or any defending premier, in a decade and the re-signings of brothers Tom and Oscar McDonald has Roos delighted with progress at the AFL club.Like a painter looking back at a canvas, Roos is reflecting on his three years at the club ahead of his final three weeks at the helm.From two wins in 2013, the Demons have nine this year - their best return since 2006.The McDonalds are the latest in a long line of re-contracted youngsters, with Jack Viney (signed until 2020), Jack Watts (2019), Jeff Garlett (2019), Clayton Oliver (2019), Jayden Hunt (2018) and James Harmes (2018) among those to re-sign this year.So while its not mission accomplished just yet, its close enough for Roos.Its not finished. Lets be really clear on that. But absolutely (its been a successful year) ... theres been enormous strides, he said on Thursday.The coaching group have done a fantastic job. Goody and all his assistants have been outstanding.The players are learning, are getting better.The body of work weve put in has been really significant.To get from two wins to nine and the percentage over 100 with three games to go has been a terrific effort.And whats more, the Demons arent giving up on finals just yet.Should North Melbourne loose to Hawthorn on Saturday afternoon, Melbourne will take the field against Port Adelaide on Saturday night knowing a win will keep alive an improbable finals berth.ddddddddddddNorth would still need to lose every game, and the Demons have to win their last three while making up a chunk of percentage.St Kilda would also need to lose at least one of their matches.And perhaps thats why Roos wasnt keen to make a big deal of sneaking into eighth place.Ive never been one to worry too much about that, he said.Weve got a lot of work to do on our game.Weve won two in a row now ... if things fall your way thats great.Roos said he was not too sure whether there would be any more re-signings before years end, with flag-winning forward Chris Dawes and former Demon captains Jack Trengove and Jack Grimes without a deal to play in 2017.But he was always confident Tom McDonalds future was at Melbourne.It probably dragged out a little bit longer than we thought. Thats not a big deal. Its done now, he said.If you can get a good centre half-back, centre half-forward, its really, really important.Roos said Jesse Hogan would be fit to face Port Adelaide but first-gamer Sam Weideman might not be able to back up with a corked thigh.
