Contemplating his team’s success amid struggles from a few of its top shooters, UCLA coach Mick Cronin said he envisioned a game where all of his players got hot at the same time.
It came Thursday.
Tyger Campbell got things started with a floater. Cody Riley followed with back-to-back jump shots, a jump hook and a spin move for a layup.
The game wasn’t even three minutes old and the Bruins had made their first five shots. Soon others would join in the shot-making fun, helping UCLA enjoy a rare breather in a start-to-finish 91-61 romp over Washington State at Pauley Pavilion that gave the Bruins a fifth consecutive victory.
