 Norman Powell added 14 points and four steals and Tony Parker
finished with 13 points and eight rebounds as all five starters
scored in double figures for UCLA (10-7, 2-2). Isaac Hamilton also
scored 13 points and Bryce Alford contributed 11 points and nine
assists for the Bruins, who won their second straight conference
game.
Jordan Mathews scored 23 points but was the only player in double
figures for California (11-6, 1-3). David Kravish chipped in nine
points and 14 rebounds, but leading scorer Tyrone Wallace, who came
in averaging 19.1 points, was held to four points on 2-for-9 from
the floor.
The Bruins surged into the lead with a 10-2 run that put them up
20-13 with 11 minutes left in the first half and they wouldn’t trail
again. UCLA led by as many as 10 before California sawed that
deficit in half at the break, but the Bruins scored the first eight
points of the second half to go ahead 39-26.
The Bears went scoreless for a 6:34 stretch bridging the two halves
and never got their momentum back. They didn’t take their first free
throw until just under 15 minutes remained in the game and that
trimmed the deficit back to 10, but that would be as close as they
got thanks to an ensuing 8-0 run by the Bruins.
