Matt Barnes added 13 points and UCLA's three freshman - Cedric Bozeman, Andre Patterson and Dijon Thompson - combined for 21 to lead the Bruins. The Bruins did receive a scare when center Dan Gadzuric took a hard fall 3:10 into the second half, spraining his left ankle, the same one he sprained severely against DePaul in February. Gadzuric, after laying on the court and wincing for a minute, hopped to the bench on his right leg then was helped to the locker room. However, he was re-tapped and re-entered the game halfway through the second half. By the time he came back, the Bruins, who led by three at halftime, had built a 14-point lead and were never threatened. The Bruins looked like they might be in for the same type of finish the way they played in the first half. The Bruins led 30-27 at halftime despite a first half rife with two lingering trends from last season: Center Dan Gadzuric getting in early foul trouble and forward Jason Kapono struggling to get his shots.
