Freshman guard Sam Cunliffe had a career-high 10 points and Arizona State (3-1) made a season-high 12 3-pointers.

Graham, a 6-foot-5 senior, has scored 82 points in the first four games, starting the last two after playing off the bench in the first two.

The Sun Devils led by as many as 13 points early in the second half and had a 56-45 lead after Graham's 3-pointer with 11:32 remaining.

Tulane went on a 9-0 run fueled by Kain Harris' five points to make it 56-54, but the Green Wave were never closer.

Evans' layup and free throw gave the Sun Devils a 59-54 lead, and they led by no fewer than seven points over the final 5 1/2 minutes.

Evans had 11 points and Graham had 10 when Arizona State took a 40-29 halftime lead, its largest of the half. Evans made three 3-pointers and Graham had two. Reynolds had nine points on three 3-pointers.
