Tylen Walker's three pointer at that mark made him the first half's high man with 10 points.

With 1:28 before the break, Morehouse pulled the game even at 32 all on a layup from Tyrius Walker. ASU got two free throws from Aaron Washington to put the Rams back in front but Jordan Wallace countered with a three pointer right before the half ended and the Tigers took a 35-34 lead into the locker room.
