UCLA Defeats Washington State, 86-83, in Overtime

February 13, 2020 | Men's Basketball

LOS ANGELES – Redshirt sophomore Cody Riley scored 11 of his 19 points in overtime, as the UCLA men's basketball team defeated Washington State by a score of 86-83 Thursday evening at Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom.

Junior Chris Smith registered 23 points and a career-high 13 rebounds for the Bruins (14-11, 7-5). Each of his three career double-doubles have come during the 2019-20 season. Redshirt freshman Tyger Campbell added 14 points, while freshman Jaime Jaquez Jr. rounded out the double-figure scorers with 13. Jaquez Jr. scored each of his 13 points in the second half.

Riley made each of his five shots in overtime and nine of 10 overall.

Isaac Bonton scored 23 points to lead the Cougars (14-11, 5-7). Jeff Pollard added 20 points. CJ Elleby posted 10 points and a team-high seven rebounds.

It was a tale of two halves from the field, as UCLA made 13 of 36 (36.1 percent) shots in the first half and 15 of 28 (53.6 percent) in the second. After making 14 of its 28 (50 percent) first-half attempts, meanwhile, Washington State converted just 11 of 26 (42.3 percent) in the final 20 minutes of regulation.

Smith scored the first seven points and 10 of the initial 12 for UCLA. The lead changed hands eight times in the first half, but a late 8-0 run by the Cougars gave them the largest cushion of the stanza at 30-23. The Bruins answered with the next seven points, but Washington State took a 34-30 lead into the locker room at halftime.

Bonton went on a personal 8-0 scoring spree and capped a 13-2 run with a jumper that gave the Cougars a 50-38 lead with 13:44 to go in regulation. An 18-4 UCLA run ensued and back-to-back 3-pointers by sophomore David Singleton put the Bruins back into the lead with 7:14 remaining. Washington State retook the lead during a 7-0 run that made the score 65-61, but could not put UCLA away. Trailing 69-67 with 16 seconds left, UCLA tied the score on a Smith jumper that ultimately sent the game to overtime.

The extra period belonged to Riley, who scored the Bruins' first seven points over the first 1:22. UCLA led by as many as seven points over the extra five minutes. The overtime game marked the second between the Bruins and Cougars this season. Washington State picked up a 79-71 home win on Jan. 4.

UCLA will be back in action Saturday, when it welcomes Washington to Pauley Pavilion. The Pac-12 contest will be televised by ESPN2, beginning at 7 p.m., PT.
