UCLA fans at Pauley Pavilion could only turn their backs on the way out of the doors.

The Trojans fought back from a dreadful first-half finish, turning the momentum early in the second half to secure a 62-56 win over rival UCLA at Pauley Pavilion on Saturday. The Trojans opened the second half with 10 unanswered points to avenge their rivalry loss from January in Galen Center, winning just their second road game of the season and their first in Pauley Pavilion since 2021.
