UCLA hit 83.3 percent of its shots – including 8-of-10 3-pointers – to maintain a 42-31 lead over Arizona State at the half.
Nikola Dragovic leads the Bruins with 16 points and Malcolm Lee has 11, as the perimeter passing has been sharp.
Moving into a 2-3 zone midway through the first half, UCLA simply shut down the Sun Devils, who are shooting 44.4 percent. Rihards Kuksiks is the only ASU player in double figures, with 15 points, and seems to be the only one who has solved the zone defense.
