Los Angeles-Deem Bona’s high-upheaval dunks were soon, but it was late in the strong game of Sebstian Mac and Laser Stephanovic, which helped the UCLA men’s basketball team 14-point, second-huff leads and winning Kolorado from 64-60 on Thursday night.
Bruce (14–11, in total, 9–5 PAC-12) won his sixth consecutive game and finished third in the conference, passed the useless Oregon with his eighth win in nine matches since season 6–10.
To proceed from 63–60 with 17 seconds, UCLA Raksha forced the Senior Forward Triston da Silva of Colorado to an off-balance paste, before the UCLA was awarded the ball occupation, as many players were poured on the floor for loose balls with 3.3 seconds. Stephanovic was fouled with 2.1 seconds remaining and made his second one of the two free throw, which saw a four -digit victory.
A new man from Chicago ended with a game -high 19 points on 7 -11 shooting from the ground. Bona had 14 points and seven rebounds, and Sophomore Guard Dylan Andrews added 13 points to the first half, eight points.
The UCLA opened the second half with five straight points for its biggest lead of the game, but Buffs worked to erase it. Colorado tied the score twice, first on a sting by da Silva and then at 54-54 on its 3-pointer.
Mac (four) and Lazar Stephanovic (five) combined each point to score each point for Bruce, who took a 63–56 lead with 2:11.
The take-up by Colorado’s senior center AD Lampkin Junior made it 63–58 with 1:53 rest, then freshman forward Kodi Williams’ paste cut the margin with 63–60 to 52 seconds.
KJ Simpson excluded a dialing Andrews jumper from the border, then running down with a shot watch, Stephanovic recalled a frustration 3-point attempt in front of his bench, which made it a two-quant game. Colorado called a timeout as the UCLA took a 63-60 lead with 17 seconds.
Williams scored 18 points and Da Silva had 16 for buffalo (16–9, 7-7), who lost two in a row and four out of five. Lampkin had 12 points.
Colorado came out early in a disruptive trapping defense, forcing UCLA coach Mick Cronin to call for less than three minutes in the game. Bruce launched 8–5, but responded by MAC’s 7–0 run-of-two run-in-law and 3-pointer by Andrews, which placed the UCLA above 12–8. Bruce made his first six attempts from the field.
Sowing, chasing a loose ball, left the first half with 12:46 remaining after working on the floor. After the team was seen by the medical staff, he examined back in the game after less than 90 seconds.
The 6-Foot-10 Sophomore Power Forward scared the injury with a pair of thunderous sting at a gap of 59 seconds, which gave the UCLA speed and 27–20 lead to go for the first time with 8:01. First, Bona blocked J’Vonne Hadley and Will McCallland grabbed the defensive rebound and fed Bona for a sting at the other end. Julian Hammond III then overturned the ball and immersed McChelandon’s street nearby to defeat the shot watch.
Mac’s crossover and isolation jumper left Bruins the first double-point lead of the game with 30–20 with 5:31.
Colorado used 5–0 runs to get within 30–25, but Sky Hook of 7-Freshman Center Ede Mara ended Mini-Serz. Andrews’s Bajer-Beating coating gave the UCLA 38-29 in the halftime. Mac had 11 points in the first half.
The three-digit game of Bona through traffic gave Bruce a benefit of 14 points at 43-29 and survived with 18:31 in the second half, but the buffalo cut the UCLA leadership from there. Bruising of lampkin cut Bruce’s advantage to 50–46, with 8:54 with second place. The 3-pointer by Williams cut the UCLA lead by 51–49 at 7:59 points before Da Silva’s sting tied the score for the first time.
