Kevon Looney's Monster Game Leads UCLA Past Stanford, 86-81, In Double OT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Freshman Kevon Looney had career-highs of 27 points and 19 rebounds, helping UCLA rally to beat Stanford 86-81 in double overtime Thursday night and snap the Bruins' five-game skid.

Tony Parker tied his career-best with 22 points and had 12 rebounds in a career-high 42 minutes, and Bryce Alford had 15 points for the Bruins (9-7, 1-2 Pac-12), who gave second-year coach Steve Alford his 500th career victory.

Chasson Randle scored 32 points -- one off his career high -- and Anthony Brown added 21 points for the Cardinal (10-4, 2-1), who had their four-game winning streak end. Stanford has lost 10 straight in Westwood.

Randle had seven 3-pointers, tying his career best, and Brown had a career-best five. Rosco Allen added 14 points.

UCLA outscored Stanford 10-5 in the second OT. Alford hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with six seconds left in the first OT that gave UCLA a one-point lead. But he fouled out against Randle, who made one of two free throws to tie it up at 76-all and force another extra session.

Randle missed a layup in the final seconds of the game.

In the first overtime, the Cardinal got two 3-pointers by Randle with the second one giving them a 75-72 lead. That came after Looney's 3-pointer from the left side tied it at 72-all.

Isaac Hamilton made one of two free throws after Randle's fourth foul that had the Bruins trailing 75-73. Stefan Nastic was called for an offensive foul with 22 seconds to go. Alford fed Isaac Hamilton in the left corner, but his 3-pointer brushed the net as it missed. Looney got the offensive rebound and his layup missed with eight seconds to go.

After a video review, the Bruins retained possession. Norman Powell, who sustained a hip pointer, inbounded the ball to Alford near the baseline and he sank a 3-pointer from the right side over multiple defenders, giving UCLA a 76-75 lead with 2 seconds to go.
