First Half


The first half saw both teams exchanging leads as they settled into their rhythms. The Bruins managed to gain an early advantage by scoring 36 points compared to the Huskies' 32. Skyy Clark was instrumental for UCLA during this period, contributing significantly with his shooting accuracy and defensive efforts. His performance set the tone for what would be a closely contested game.


Second Half


In the second half, UCLA's offense kicked into high gear, adding another 46 points to their tally. Donovan Dent played a pivotal role in maintaining this momentum with his impressive assists and crucial steals that disrupted Washington's flow. The Westwood Warriors capitalized on turnovers effectively, converting them into valuable points that kept them ahead.


On the other side of the court, Washington fought back valiantly with an improved offensive display in this half but fell short by just two points despite scoring 48 themselves. Their fast break plays were notable; however, they couldn't quite overcome UCLA's defensive resilience led by Tyler Bilodeau's presence under the basket.
