LOS ANGELES -- It was a second half to remember for the young Bruins on Sunday night. UCLA runs of 15-0 and 24-1 in the second half to turn a 14-point deficit with 17 minutes to play into a 21-point victory.
Freshman Kris Wilkes scored a career-high 21 points and Aaron Holiday added 14 points, seven rebounds and five assists to lead the Bruins to a 74-53 win over Washington on Sunday night.
Wilkes, a 6-foot-8 guard, had 20-point games in wins against Central Arkansas, on Nov. 15, and then-No. 7 Kentucky on Dec. 23.
Not only did UCLA (11-3, 2-0) explode offensively in the second half, but the Bruins completely shut down the Huskies (11-4, 1-1), who shot only 17 percent in the second half. Washington had large stretches of the second half where they struggled to score and even get a decent shot off again the smothering UCLA zone.
The Huskies couldn't loosen the zone because of abysmal outside shooting, especially in the second half. Washington finished 2 of 27 from behind the three-point.
'The full-court press really energized us,' Bruins coach Steve Alford said. 'In my opinion, I thought they (the Huskies) were the tired team late and we were not. That is encouraging because I though we showed some maturity. I thought our guys really grew up tonight.'
'The second half was one of our best overall halves this season,' Wilkes said. 'This game, not only did we click on the defensive end, we clicked on the offensive end.'
The Bruins have won four in a row and snapped Washington's four-game win streak.
'We really played well for the first 28 minutes but, unfortunately, the game is 40 minutes,' Washington coach Mike Hopkins said. 'When they changed to the 3-2 defense at the 10-minute mark (second half), that basically won the game for them.'
UCLA trailed 43-29 with 17:11 to play in the second half but then went on a 15-0 run over the next six-plus minutes to take its first lead. The Bruins then used on a 24-1 run over the final 6:48 to seal it. UCLA hit 17-of-20 free throws in the second half and made 25-of-30 overall.
UCLA shot 43 percent (22 of 51) from the field. The Huskies shot just 17 percent (6 of 35) in the second half and made 19 of 68 (27.9 percent) overall.
Noah Dickerson led Washington with 14 points and seven rebounds.
'They made the adjustments at halftime and went to a 3-2 defense, we just couldn't score,' Dickerson said. 'It was a very good adjustment. They went on a run and we just couldn't stop them.'
Said Hopkins: 'They did a great job denying the entry passes to Dickerson. I really give them a lot of credit.'
Washington Vs Ucla 2019
UCLA came out sluggish, turning the ball over on offense and playing lax defense in the interior and Washington led 21-9 lead after Dickerson drove for layup in traffic.
Washington took a 13-point lead when Matisse Thybulle hit a jumper with 8:07 left in the first half, but the Huskies missed their next eight field-goal attempts, allowing UCLA to whittle its deficit to 36-28 at halftime.
'Washington is the first team we have played against that has zoned us for 40 minutes,' Alford said. 'I didn't like our start.'
The Bruins put their slow start behind them at halftime to continue their win streak and are gaining steam as conference play gets going in earnest.
'We've got good momentum. We have got some good wins,' UCLA's Prince Ali said. 'This one, especially, was a great win considering how much we were down.'
BIG PICTURE:
Washington's four-game winning streak dating back to Dec. 17 when it beat LMU 80-78 came to an end in large part to poor shooting, which was in contrast to the Huskies previous win at USC on Dec. 22 when they shot 67.3 percent (33 of 55) from the field, Washington's highest shooting percentage since at least the 2002-03 season.
UCLA's win gives the Bruins three in a row over the Huskies. UCLA swept the two-game series last season, and has won eight of the last 10 meetings, between the schools.
BIG BOARDER
Bruins center Thomas Welsh grabbed seven boards and moved into 10th place on UCLA's career rebounds list with 826. Welsh, a 7-foot senior, passed Ed O'Bannon (1992-95), who had 820 career rebounds.
UP NEXT
Washington finishes up a three-game road-trip at Washington State on Jan. 6.
UCLA plays at Stanford on Jan. 4 to start a two-game road-trip to the Bay Area.
PASADENA, Calif. -- Jake Browning is known for his arm, but the Washington quarterback showed that he can be elusive when on the run.
Browning threw for 265 yards and a touchdown, and he also ran for 49 yards and a score to lead the 10th-ranked Huskies to a 31-24 victory over UCLA on Saturday.
'I think that's his game. As long as he is moving up into the pocket and keeping his eyes downfield, we want him to run,' Washington coach Chris Petersen said. 'He has a feel for it. He's crafty when he runs and we want it to be a part of his game.'
Browning, who was one yard off his rushing best of 50 against Montana in 2017, said none of the runs were designed plays. Even though there was immediate talk about next week's game at No. 18 Oregon, Browning was happy that the Huskies were able to get their first win over the Bruins at the Rose Bowl since 1995.
'It feels pretty good to get the win down here. There's always stuff we need to work on, but now we're moving on,' said Browning, who completed 18 of 26 passes with one touchdown and one interception.
Browning wasn't the only Huskies player to have success on the ground. Myles Gaskin rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns as Washington (5-1, 3-0 Pac-12) held the ball for 38 minutes, 9 seconds.
Aaron Fuller had five receptions for 100 yards, including a 25-yard TD catch in the first quarter that opened the scoring.
The Huskies led 24-7 at halftime but saw the Bruins climb back within a touchdown twice in the fourth quarter. Washington took a 31-17 lead with a 12-play, 81-yard drive that took 6:45 off the clock and ended with Gaskin's 1-yard TD on a direct snap with 3:42 remaining.
'When the game was on the line we made the plays when we needed,' Petersen said. 'UCLA did a nice job of shortening the game as they got back into it.'
Washington Vs Ucla 2018 Acceptance
Joshua Kelley scored on a 2-yard run with 1:38 left, and the Bruins attempted an onside kick, but Washington recovered and ran out the clock.
UCLA freshman Dorian Thompson-Robinson was 27 of 38 for 272 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Kelley finished with 116 yards on 27 carries and a touchdown, becoming the first Bruins running back to have two straight 100-yard games since Paul Perkins in 2015.
The Bruins, who are in their first year under coach Chip Kelly, fell to 0-5 for the first time since 1943. They are 0-2 in the Pac-12.
'We didn't high-five in the locker room and say, `Hey, we got close against a really good team.' And they are a really good team,' Kelly said. 'Pete's done a great job with that program, but I'm not a guy that gets solace in `We were close.' That's not us. Close isn't good enough. Close is bad.'
MARATHON DRIVE
UCLA got within 24-17 early in the further on a Caleb Wilson had a 9-yard TD catch to complete a 17-play, 90-yard drive. The last time the Bruins had a 17-play touchdown drive was in 2012 against Houston. They had a 17-play drive that resulted in a field goal against Washington State in 2015.
GOLDEN MILESTONE
Gaskin's touchdown in the fourth quarter was his 50th rushing score and made him the fifth player in Pac-12 history to have 50 or more TDs on the ground.
Oregon's Royce Freeman has the record with 60, followed by Oregon State's Ken Simonton (59), Oregon's LaMichael James (53) and USC's LenDale White (52).
THE TAKEAWAY
Washington: The Huskies' pass defense, which had been the team's strength, struggled against a freshman quarterback. They had not allowed a passing TD since the Sept. 1 opener against Auburn.
UCLA: The Bruins had been outscored 83-31 in the second half in their first four games but showed some progress on Saturday by rallying. It is a sign that Kelly's young team is beginning to show some growth.
UP NEXT
Washington: Travels to No. 18 Oregon next Saturday. The Huskies have won the last two meetings against the Ducks.
UCLA: At California next Saturday. The Bruins have defeated the Bears in four of their last five meetings.
