UCLA started the first half patient and working the ball around. The result was assists for Jaylen Hands and baskets for...Prince Ali. Ali hit his first four threes and went 6-6 in the first half with a nice assist to Moses Brown. Ali’s offense was possibly not planned for, but when you think about it from Hawai’i’s perspective, he is the guy you want to let shoot and shut down the rest. To the Bruins credit, they were patient and took advantage.
There was one change to the starting lineup. Cody Riley started for Jalen Hill.
