Jarron Cumberland scored 10. UCLA (7-3) was led by Aaron Holiday, who scored 17points. The Bruins made 8 of 18 from 3-point range in the second half and committed only three turnovers after committing 18 in the first half.
The Bearcats trailed, 21-18, after a Prince Ali 3-pointer for UCLA with 6:59 left in the first half. That would be the last field goal of the half for the Bruins.
UC went on an 18-0 run take a 36-21 lead on two Cane Broome free throws with 1:23 left. The only points over the last 6:59 for UCLA were two free throws by Alex Olesinski with 17.7 seconds left. The Bearcats finished the half on an 18-2 run and led at halftime, 36-23.

UC kept up the pressure early in the second half, making five of its first nine shots, despite missed layups by Clark and Evans, to take a 47-28 lead less than five minutes into the half. The Bruins did a better job of taking care of the ball in the second half and made 6 of their first 13 shots, but UC still held a 54-38 lead with 11:46 left.
The Bearcats missed their next seven shots while UCLA was heating up from long range. Washington stopped the UC scoring drought with a basket at the 8:21 mark and Cumberland made a three, but the Holland answered with a three for the Bruins and it was 59-46 with 6:41 to play. A 3-pointer by Jaylen Hands pulled UCLA within 10.
Evans then came up with one of the biggest baskets of the game for UC when he rebounded a missed shot by Washington and put it in. Cumberland then made a driving layup to put UC ahead, 63-49, with 4:43 to go.
