After what Stanford did to UCLA earlier this month, beating the Bruins in double overtime, Prince Ali thought the Bruins “owed them this game.”
UCLA delivered a shot of revenge in style Saturday with an 89-73 win in Pauley Pavilion punctuated by a highlight-reel worthy between-the-legs pass from Jaylen Hands to Kris Wilkes, one of Hands’ career-high 10 assists.

The win boosted the Bruins into third place in the Pac-12 going into next Saturday’s rivalry game against USC in Pauley Pavilion.
