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 Wholesale NBA China Jerseys .

The Welshman had traditionally been a more defensive-minded player during his time at previous clubs Swansea and Liverpool, but he has already netted four times in nine Premier League appearances for the Potters - as many as he managed in four years at Anfield.Allen, 26, who faces former club Swansea on Monday Night Football, told Sky Sports that Mark Hughes decision to move him into a No 10 role is the primary reason behind his new prowess. Stoke vs Swansea October 31, 2016, 7:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass I think the biggest change has been the position, said Allen. Obviously things seem to have fallen my way as well but Ive been given a much more advanced role here, which means Im getting myself into more goal-scoring positions. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. Weve also got players in this team with creativity, and theyve been able to put a few things on a plate for me. Im obviously not the type of player who will tower over and score headers or be a handful for centre-halves, but there are different ways of picking up goals and theyre the type [Ive been scoring] recently.The way the team has been set up provides a platform for the likes of me, with Marko Arnautovic and Xherdan Shaqiri roaming on the left and right, and that ability to intercchange has been one of the reasons its worked.dddddddddddd Allen evades a sliding challenge from Dider Ndong of Sunderland Stoke failed to win any of their first seven Premier League games of the season, but their recent upturn in form has also seen a dramatic improvement from the likes of Arnautovic and Shaqiri - the latter of whom scored a stunning brace in the 2-0 win over Hull last weekend.And Allen believes that his attacking midfield partners are as good as anyone else in the country on their day.I had the chance to work at a club like Liverpool, but in both Marko and Shaqiri youve got players who technically are right up there, said the Welshman. When the pair of them are hot theyre as dangerous as anyone in the league.It was one of the reasons I was excited to join Stoke, as I looked from the outside at the players they had and thought I could see the team doing a lot of damage as the season went on. Xherdan Shaqiri of Stoke City celebrates scoring his teams second goal against Hull Stoke host Allens former club Swansea on Monday Night Football, and the midfielder admitted it can feel a bit strange to play against the side he was at from the age of nine until his move to Liverpool in 2012. However, he insisted that connection has never hindered his performances against them.Its a fixture I always look out for because theyre still my team and I always want them to do really well, bar when I play against them! he said.The build-up to the game is always a little strange, but as soon as Ive got out there on the pitch its never something thats affected my emotions or how I play.I think itll be a good match, and [hopefully] with the run and momentum weve built up in the last couple of weeks its a good chance for us to get three points.
