Tyger Campbell scored 17 points, Adem Bona had 15, and No. 7 UCLA routed Utah 68-49 on Thursday for the Bruins’ 12th straight win.
His ferociousness.
Having been selected the Pac-12’s freshman of the week in each of the last two weeks, Bona was building a strong candidacy for a three-peat. Contributing in every category, he posted 15 points on seven-for-nine shooting to go with eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal.UCLA’s bench players have been outscored by more than double in their five Pac-12 Conference games, but the 81-39 shortfall is not entirely their fault.
Showing the shooting accuracy that has abandoned him for much of the season, Campbell made seven of 14 shots and three of six three-pointers on the way to 17 points and seven assists for the Bruins . The Bruins shook off a shaky start largely thanks to Bona, his six consecutive points sparking an 11-0 spurt that put UCLA ahead to stay. Cronin compared Bona to former NBA star Kenyon Martin, whom Cronin had mentored when he was an assistant coach at Cincinnati under Bob Huggins.
Jaquez finally broke through a couple of minutes into the second half when he rose for a three-pointer and followed shortly thereafter with a jumper. Jaquez scored all eight of his points in the second half and finished with a game-high 12 rebounds alongside 10 deflections and six assists as UCLA pulled away.
