No. 9 UCLA Bests Cougs in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jaime Jaquez Jr. had 24 points and a career-high 15 rebounds, and No. 9 UCLA defeated Washington State 76-52 on Saturday night to win its 21st consecutive home game.

The Bruins (19-4, 10-2 Pac-12) own the nation's longest active home winning streak, including a 13-0 mark at Pauley Pavilion this season.

Washington State (10-15, 5-9) was without second-leading scorer DJ Rodman. The senior missed both games in Los Angeles because of illness. The Cougars were led by TJ Bamba with 19 points. Justin Powell added 17, hitting five 3-pointers.

The Cougars lost to the Bruins by one point at home on Dec. 30 after leading for over 35 minutes in the game. This time, WSU kept it close early in the first half before UCLA twice pulled away to leads of 10 points.

The Bruins dominated the second half. Jaquez scored 10 of their first 15 points. He had four in a row to lead an 11-0 run that stretched UCLA's lead from single digits to 57-38.
