For the Huskies, Scott Suggs led the scoring with 14 points, while forward Desmond Simmons and center Aziz D'Niaye combined for 21 rebounds. Washington turned the ball over 19 times, as opposed to just ten for UCLA. Suggs and Abdul Gaddy were the main offenders, giving the ball up four times each.
It was the first road win at Washington for UCLA in nine seasons. With an Oregon loss against Utah, the Bruins will win the Pac-12 outright for the fourth time in Howland’s tenure.
