LOS ANGELES — Bryce Alford scored 29 points and No. 3 UCLA routed Washington 98-66 on Wednesday night for its eighth straight win despite losing starter TJ Leaf to injury.
Lonzo Ball had 19 points, seven rebounds and eight assists for the Bruins (27-3, 14-3 Pac-12), who improved to 15-1 at home. They completed a season sweep of Washington after winning by 41 points on the road last month.
Leaf twisted his left ankle 5 minutes into the game and didn’t return, but that didn’t hurt the Bruins. They led by 21 points at halftime and extended the lead to 42 in the second half.
