The Bruins kept their foot on the gas, increasing their lead to 23 before halftime. They limited the visitors to just 20 points in the first 20 minutes.

And UCLA still hasn’t given up. He opened the second half with a 15-2 run that included 9 points from Andrews, including 7 in a row.

With less than 7 minutes to play, an and-1 convert from Perry would give the Bruins their largest lead of the game – 50 points – while capping an 11-0 run.

Perry finished with 9 points, five rebounds and five steals to add to his trio of steals.

Other notable outings for UCLA included sophomore guard Sebastian Mack, who had 8 points, two rebounds, two assists and two steals, and sophomore center Aday Mara, who had eight rebounds , a game high, while adding 6 points, three assists, three blocks and a 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 going to get better for UCLA in the future as the team begins Big Ten play next week, starting with a showdown with 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 match is scheduled for next Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. PST, 10:30 p.m. EST.
