UCLA Falls at Colorado, 70-61

February 27, 2021 | Men's Basketball

BOULDER, Colo. โ€“ The UCLA men's basketball team's four-game winning streak ended on Saturday night with a 70-61 loss at Colorado.
ย 
Colorado (19-7, 13-6 Pac-12) outscored UCLA by a 15-4 margin over the final seven minutes of the game to secure a series split with the Bruins (17-6, 13-4 Pac-12) in the regular season.
ย 
Johnny Juzang led the visiting Bruins with 25 points, connecting on 7 of 12 shots. He made 3 of 4 attempts from 3-point range. Jaylen Clark (10 points) was the only other UCLA player to score in double figures.
ย 
UCLA committed 14 turnovers on Saturday night, including nine in the second half.
ย 
After Tyger Campbell's 3-point basket gave the Bruins a 57-57 advantage with nearly seven minutes to play, Colorado scored the next nine points of the game. That gave the Buffaloes a 64-57 cushion with 4:41 remaining.
ย 
Colorado's McKinley Wright IV scored a game-high 26 points.
ย 
The two teams went back and forth through the first 12 minutes of the second half. Neither squad grabbed more than a three-point advantage during that span.
ย 
Colorado put the game out of reach in the final two minutes, securing a 70-58 advantage with 1:28 left in the second half.
ย 
UCLA led by as many as eight points in the first half, using a 6-0 scoring run in less than one minute to extend a two-point lead into a 32-24 cushion.
ย 
Colorado closed the opening half with a 10-3 scoring run and trailed by just one point, 35-34, at the intermission.
ย 
UCLA still remains atop the Pac-12 standings with a 13-4 conference record. The Bruins will close the regular season next week against their closest competition for the Pac-12 regular-season crown. UCLA will play at Oregon next Wednesday (March 3) and will host USC next Saturday (March 6).
