UCLA beat UC Santa Barbara 77-61 shooting 53% in the second half led by an unlikely scoring leader in Jalen Hill.
UCLA came out with a different starting lineup with Tyger Campbell, Alex Olesinski and Chris Smith joined by new starters Jalen Hill and Prince Ali. Shareef O’Neal was out with a hip pointer. Cody Riley has also been sick.
UCLA started the game rough on offense with players forcing shots, especially Chris Smith. Smith could beat his man but not convert.
