Jalen Graham scored 18 points and pulled down nine rebounds and Arizona State rode balanced scoring to an 81-57 victory over Oregon on Thursday at Tempe, Ariz.

The Sun Devils (9-15, 5-9 Pac-12) swept the regular-season series over the Ducks (17-9, 10-5) for the first time since the 2010-11 season.

DJ Horne, Kimani Lawrence and Marreon Jackson each had 16 points for the Sun Devils, who have won three of their past five games after enduring a four-game losing streak.

Oregon has lost two of its last three games after a four-game winning streak.

The Ducks, who made 34.5 percent of their shots from the field, including just 19.2 percent (5 of 26) from 3-point range, were led by Will Richardson's 12 points. Eric Williams Jr. added 11 points.

After Williams made a 3-pointer with 11:18 left to cut Arizona State's lead to 56-45, the Sun Devils outscored Oregon 14-3 to pull away.

The Ducks went without a field goal, missing eight straight shots from the field, in a six-minute span following Williams' trey. Arizona State's lead grew to 70-48 before the drought ended with 5:18 left on a Jacob Young 3-pointer.

The Sun Devils shot 57.4 percent from the field, including 45 percent (9 of 20) from beyond the arc. They outrebounded Oregon 40-29 and tallied 19 assists.

Arizona State led for all but 1:11 of the first half, taking as much as an eight-point advantage before entering the locker room at halftime on top 36-30.

Oregon shot only 34.4 percent from the field in the first half, including 1 of 13 from 3-point range.

Arizona State, which made 53.8 percent from the field before halftime, was led by Jackson's 16 points on 6-of-7 shooting (4 of 5 from 3-point range).

The Sun Devils scored the first six points of the second half on three consecutive made field goals to increase the lead to 42-30.

At that point, Arizona State was in a 14-of-19 shooting stretch from the field.

The Sun Devils' lead increased to 56-37 on Horne's 3-pointer with 13:37 remaining.

Oregon then scored eight unanswered points, but that was the Ducks' last gasp before Arizona State pulled away for good.
