**1 – Devonte’ Graham:** Had his finger prints on pretty much every good play to deliver Kansas a 15-2 lead, but in the end, Arizona State’s guards ruled the day. Graham had 19 points, eight assists, four rebounds and three steals and made 5 of 11 3-point shots.

**2 – Lagerald Vick:** Made 11 of 15 field goals and 3 of 6 3-pointers on way to team-high 25 points. Also had seven rebounds in 39-minute effort.

**3 – Svi Mykhailiuk:** Played two completely different halves, doing good and not-so-good things in both halves. Missed all five shots, including a trio of treys, in the first half, but also had six assists without turning it over. Scored 14 second-half points, but turned it over four times, killing chances at a comeback. Teams will follows ASU’s scouting report on Svi: Crowd him when he has the ball to pick his dribble.

**4 – Malik Newman:** Graham did terrific job of setting him up for 3-pointers and he made 3 of 8 to finish with 13 points, five rebounds and two steals.

**5 – Udoka Azubuike:** Had many opportunities for blocked shots but came away with only two. Had 13 points and nine rebounds.

**7 – Marcus Garrett:** Scoreless with one rebound and no assists in 15 minutes. Missed a pair of 3-pointers, his only two shots.
