Keala King scored 18 points and Arizona State shot 61 percent (25-of-41) from the field, its best road shooting night since January of 2004, in a 67-64 victory at Tulsa on Saturday.

Tulsa (4-5) came into the game allowing opponents to shoot 37 percent, but the Sun Devils (3-4) consistently penetrated for high-percentage shots in the lane.

King's three-point play with 3:34 remaining gave Arizona State a 59-54 lead, and the Golden Hurricane got no closer than three points afterward, in big part because they missed 6 of 9 free throws in the final four minutes. King is averaging 14.7 points per game this year after averaging just 3.7 last year.
