The Wildcats shot 54% and held on through some shaky moments in the second half to sweep the season series for the fourth time in six years.
Tubelis kicked off the final sequence by blocking Martin's shot with nine seconds left, but replays showed he hit the senior guard across the arm.
The Wildcats jumped on the Sun Devils early in the late-starting rematch — 9 p.m. local — turning missed shots and Arizona State turnovers into transition baskets.
The Sun Devils missed their first 12 shots, didn't score until Marcus Bagley's layup at 13:16 of the first half and compounded the mistakes by struggling to get back on defense during Arizona's opening run.
The Wildcats weren't quite as good in the second half, committing sloppy turnovers and letting off the gas as the Sun Devils whittled away at their lead.
