TEMPE, Ariz. -- Few expected Arizona State to give top-ranked Kentucky a battle in the Nov. 28 game, but the 46-point loss was humbling.The Sun Devils fired back after that defeat. From long range. Arizona State tied a school record by knocking down 18 3-pointers in a 97-73 win over UNLV Saturday night.Guard Shannon Evans II led the way with a season-high 28 points as the Sun Devils beat UNLV for the fourth straight season.You wonder about the psyche of the team, the confidence of the team after something like that, coach Bobby Hurley said. But we practiced real hard and guys got a lot of pride. I thought we might struggle some early in the game on offense. I felt that the guys would perform and outwork our opponent defensively.Evans, Torian Graham and Tra Holder combined to make 15 3s, with Graham hitting six as part of his 22 points. Holder added 20 points and Arizona State shot 49 percent from the field.ASU led by as many as 30 points.Probably the most important win of the season, Graham said.

The Rebels cut the lead to five, 34-29, on free throw by Jalen Poyser with 4:15 left, but the Sun Devils closed out the half on a 17-3 run and stayed in control the rest of the way.A night like this, when everybodys hitting, is always great, Evans said. When we play great defense, everybody gets easier shots and everybody scores, so its more fun for everybody.Thirteen of Arizona States 17 first-half field goals were from long distance. Maurice OField took ASUs 36th 3-point attempt with 17 seconds left, but the effort came up short of both the rim and the school record.Down 19 points at halftime, UNLV couldnt cut the lead into single digits.

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams five long weeks in training camp are finally finished. Their busy moving trucks are making their final trip of the year. Even the omnipresent Hard Knocks cameras will be gone shortly.The Rams epic 2016 road show is almost finished -- not counting a little trip to London next month.Its time for this traveling team to settle into Thousand Oaks and the Coliseum. Its time to start the real work of the Rams Southern California homecoming.I think the organization has done a fantastic job on blocking out distractions in relocating, Rams defensive coordinator Gregg Williams said. Were going to move three times in five months, and all these guys do is come to practice every day, come to meetings every day. Thats their routine. The most calm part of what we do is coming out here on the practice field, coming into the meeting rooms. Theres not a lot of new stuff.The new stuff is mostly over, but the Rams are hoping they wont go back to their old familiar standard of mediocrity this season.Los Angeles fans who gave up on the team two decades ago might not know the Rams havent had a winning record since 2003 and havent made the playoffs since 2004. St. Louis fans know all about the past decade of irrelevance, capped by four straight losing seasons under coach Jeff Fisher before the move.The Rams havent been incompetent in Fishers tenure, but they havent been special, either. After making relatively few changes to their roster during their relocation season, its tough to tell how Los Angeles will see a team thats markedly improved from the club that went 7-9 in St. Louis last season.Fisher seems confident his Rams can take the next step in a city firmly behind the new faces in those familiar horned helmets.You cant help but get a boost from the way weve been supported since we got back here, Fisher said. I think youll see that from every guy.Heres what to watch while the Rams homecoming season begins:THIRD-STRING GOFF?: The Rams mortgaged a chunk of their future to draft Jared Goff, but their rookie quarterback hasnt seized control of the team in the way Fisher cautiously hoped when he was drafted.Case Keenum is expected to remain Los Angeles starter to begin the season, and Goff might be the third-stringer behind Sean Mannion. The Rams insistt they arent disappointed in the deliberate start to Goffs tenure, and he is determined to win the job eventually.dddddddddddd Every day gets better, Goff said. I feel like Ive grown exponentially. ... I dont think Ill ever be complacent and happy with where I am, no matter what. You always want to get better. Thatll remain true throughout my career.GURLEYS GRIND: The Rams offense is built around second-year running back Todd Gurley, the NFLs offensive rookie of the year in 2015. A year after missing most of training camp while recovering from surgery, the speedster is fully healthy after barely playing in the preseason and going through most of training camp with his teammates forbidden to tackle him. Gurley seems eager to carry a heavy load as the biggest star on Hollywoods new team.THATS NOT OFFENSIVE: The Rams had the NFLs worst total offense and worst passing offense last season. They drafted Goff, receiver Pharoh Cooper and tight ends Tyler Higbee and Temarrick Hemingway, but havent added much more talent. Fisher has turned over the offense to coordinator Rob Boras and passing game coordinator Mike Groh, who will work together to coax new success out of largely the same players who struggled mightily last season.BOTTOM LINE: The defensive line continues to be the Rams greatest strength. Aaron Donald, Robert Quinn, Michael Brockers and William Hayes are still an overpowering unit that can cause trouble for any offensive line or running game. Los Angeles will lean heavily on the citys new Fearsome Foursome (or Fivesome, if you include Eugene Sims) while the rest of the revamped defense gets rolling.HOMECOMING GAME: After the Monday-night season opener in Santa Clara, the Rams will formally return to the Coliseum on Sept. 18 against the Seattle Seahawks and former USC coach Pete Carroll. Los Angeles has only one home game in September and one in October, which wont make this tumultuous season any easier. If the Rams can stay in the playoff race despite playing in one of the NFLs toughest divisions, they finish the year with three of their final four at the Coliseum.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
