UCLA Defeats Washington Behind Career Night from Jaquez Jr.
February 28, 2022 | Men's Basketball
Seattle, Wash. โ Jaime Jaquez Jr. scored a career-high 30 points and powered the No. 12-ranked UCLA men's basketball team to a 77-66 victory over Washington on Monday evening at Alaksa Airlines Arena.
ย
UCLA (22-6, 14-5) dominated on the glass, achieving a 40-28 rebounding advantage over the Huskies. The Bruins also hit 21 free throws compared to just nine from Washington. UCLA trailed by four points at half, but outscored the Huskies, 52-37 in the final 20 minutes of the contest.
ย
Jaquez Jr. was joined in double figures by Jules Bernard, who put up 12 points. Terrell Brown Jr. led the way for Washington with 20 points on 9-20 shooting.
ย
Both teams struggled offensively to start the first half, as the Huskies maintained just a 9-8 lead at the 10:12 mark. Consecutive field goals from David Singleton gave UCLA a 13-10 advantage.
ย
Washington tied the game at 15 and the teams exchanged baskets until it was 23-23 with 2:52 to play in the half. Brown Jr. and Jamal Bey each hit jumpers for the Huskies to send UW into the locker room with a 29-25 lead.
ย
Jaquez Jr. had an impressive first half with 13 points on 5-6 shooting. Bey led the Huskies with 10 points at the break.
ย
The Bruins opened the second half with a 9-0 run courtesy of baskets from Jaquez Jr. and Jaylen Clark, taking a 34-29 lead before a media timeout with 15:47 remaining. The Huskies answered with a bucket, but UCLA fired right back with an additional 7-0 run that saw Jaquez Jr. eclipse the 20-point mark for the fifth time this season.
ย
Later, it was 57-46 before David Singleton knocked down a triple off an offensive board from Cody Riley. Jaquez Jr. then added a pair of free throws to give him 30 points on the night and put UCLA up, 66-48.
ย
Kenneth Nwuba supplied the exclamation point on the night with a two-hand slam off a slick post move with 1:34 to play. UW hit a couple threes late in regulation to cut the final deficit to 11.
ย
UCLA returns to Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom for its final regular season game of the season, a matchup against USC on Saturday, March 5 at 7 p.m. PT on ESPN.
ย
The Bruins will then head to the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas (March 9-12).
