MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jaime Jaquez Jr. had 24 points and 11 rebounds to help No. 4 UCLA defeat Marquette 67-56 on Saturday night in a game that was pushed back several hours due to the Bruins’ flight problems.
UCLA (8-1) showed no apparent signs of rust in its first game since its 73-61 victory over Colorado on Dec. 1. UCLA was supposed to play at Washington on Dec. 5, but the Huskies had to forfeit that game due to COVID-19 issues within their program.
Johnny Juzang and Tyger Campbell had 12 points each for UCLA, which grabbed control early.
