Torian Graham led Arizona State with 28 points and Kodi Justice added 19. The Sun Devils made 14 three-pointers but were outrebounded, 49-30.
The Bruins' size made a difference throughout the game, with UCLA capitalizing on plenty of second-chance opportunities and taking advantage of Arizona State's four-guard lineup with a major rebounding edge.
