With Pac-10 leading scorer Klay Thompson suspended and reliable point guard Reggie Moore sidelined with an ankle injury, Washington State had no one to turn to at the end.

UCLA had Malcolm Lee.

Lee hit four free throws and Tyler Honeycutt and Jerime Anderson came up with crucial steals in the last minute of overtime as the Bruins came all the way back from a 15-point deficit to beat the Cougars, 58-54, at Beasley Coliseum.

A sluggish start seemingly doomed the Bruins, who couldn’t hit anywhere on the barn, much less the broadside, for the entire first half. UCLA shot 7-of-25 in the first frame, 0-from-8 from 3-point range, and looked simply lethargic.

The Bruins mounted a slow and steady comeback, however, relying on the inside game of Joshua Smith and Reeves Nelson. Nelson had 23 points, Lee had 11 and Nelson and Honeycutt added 10 each.
