No. 2 UCLA pulls away, beats Ohio State 86-73 to go 12-0

By The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS – When star freshman Lonzo Ball arrived at UCLA, Aaron Holiday lost his starting point guard job.

Holiday showed Saturday he can provide the surging Bruins with a needed boost off the bench.

Holiday and Bryce Alford each scored 20 points and No. 2 UCLA overcame a rough shooting game from Ball to beat Ohio State 86-73 and remain unbeaten.

Isaac Hamilton scored 17 points and T.J. Leaf added 13, including a steal and layup that sparked the decisive run for the Bruins (12-0). They continued their best start since being 14-0 in 2006-07.
