Bruins steamroll Southern Utah, 88-43, to extend winning streak

The Bruins kept their foot on the gas and extended their lead to 23 by halftime. They held the visitors to just 20 points in the first 20 minutes.

And UCLA still didn’t let up. The second half began with a 15-2 run that included 9 points from Andrews, 7 of which were consecutive.

With less than seven minutes left in the contest, a converted And-1 by Perry would give the Bruins their largest lead of the game – 50 points – while capping an 11-0 run.

Perry finished the game with 9 points, five rebounds and five steals, adding to his trifecta of steals.

Other notable performances from UCLA included sophomore guard Sebastian Mack, who totaled 8 points, two rebounds, two assists and two steals, and sophomore center Aday Mara, who grabbed a game-high eight rebounds to go with 6 points, three assists and three added blocks and one steal.

The Bruins made six baskets from downtown, half of which came from Stefanovic, who was perfect on all of his attempts from beyond the arc. Overall, they shot 38 of 80 from the field.

Things are looking up for UCLA going forward as the team will begin Big Ten play next week, starting with a showdown with its old Pac-12 foe Washington. The two teams will face off at Pauley Pavilion for the Bruins’ final game of their six-game homestand.

This game is scheduled for next Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. PST and 10:30 p.m. EST.
