The Bruins also hit 17 of 19 free-throw attempts, a stark contrast from the 7 of 14 made by the Huskies. Washington (9-6, 0-2) has lost two straight, and five of its losses have come against ranked teams, including a four-point decision against Washington State and a one-point loss to Pittsburgh. Washington was led by junior forward Jon Brockman's 16 points and eight rebounds, but he was not much of a factor as the Bruins built an early lead and were never challenged in the second half. Washington isn't playing the frenetic pace it did in prior seasons, which also played to UCLA's favor. After the early feeling-out process, the Bruins took control with a 13-4 run during a 2:49 span. Westbrook, who adjusted well to coming off the bench, started the spurt with a basket with 8:57 to play in the first half, but he had plenty of help as Love, Shipp, Collison and Mbah a Moute each scored during the run. Mbah a Moute's two free throws capped the rally and gave UCLA a 27-16 lead with 6:08 left in the half, and it also triggered a nice mini-run by Mbah a Moute. He scored UCLA's next seven straight points as the Bruins went ahead 32-18. The Bruins, who shot 51.9 percent from the field in the first half, showed their defensive acumen by holding the Huskies scoreless the final 2:42 of the half, during which Lorenzo Mata-Real made a basket, Love connected on a 3-pointer and Westbrook made a lay-in to give the Bruins a 41-23 halftime lead.
