UCLA 91
Pepperdine 54
No contest but at least the kids had a fun day as they do every year.
Jones finally scored so there's that.
Two players with double doubles today from the Bruins - Betts with 17 and 12 RBs, Barker with 18 and 11. Aarnisalo finished with 16 points and 9 Assists + 5 RBs. And Gabi Jaquez wound up with 15 points, 8 RBs and 3 assists.
Aarnisalo is the real deal - fun and goo player. Good to see for this program.
Muca - a transfer from Cal who didn't do much there - made 5 FGs in three seasons - had 18 today including 5-8 from three. That was about all Pepperdine had.
Bruins shot 52% (35% from three). RBs were UCLA 51-21 (ouch). Bruins had 20 assists on 31 made shots.
Socka-Nguemen was hit in the jaw in a play with just over 3 minutes to go, went down in a heap and had to be helped off the court to the locker room. Hope she's okay - one of the Bruins' outstanding freshmen.
