The second-seeded Bruins get off to a slow start, but Jaime Jaquez Jr. (23 points) and Jules Bernard (19) help them find their offensive rhythm in a 75-65 win.
LAS VEGAS — By earning the No. 2 seed for the Pac-12 Tournament, UCLA had the benefit of a bye into the quarterfinals. But there were two sides to that coin, as the Bruins looked like the rustier team at the start of their game against seventh-seeded Washington State on Thursday night. Shots weren’t falling, and players were failing to box out the more active Cougars.
Both UCLA and Washington State played to a standstill early. Neither team shot particularly well, but four Washington State 3-pointers, including back-to-back shots from Andrej Jakimovski, helped the Cougars take a 21-19 lead. This coincided with an offensive onslaught for the Bruins. Starting with Bernard’s go-ahead 3-pointer, UCLA closed the first half by making seven of 12 shots.
