But the Bruins then scored 14 unanswered points. TylerHoneycutt nailed a pair of 3-pointers and Jerime Anderson capped the burst with a layup for a 23-21 lead.

UCLA didn't let up, closing the half on a 15-3 run with Smith's dunk before the horn making it 39-29 at the break.

The Bruins remained in control after halftime, going ahead by as many as 20 points on a jumper by Tyler Lamb.
