The UCLA Bruins almost had a major stumble in their last game, coming away with a narrow win over UC Riverside by a score of 66-65. It was the type of game that could have been very demoralizing if UCLA had dropped it, but they found a way to pull it out.
Even with four of their five projected starters on the shelf (Will McClendon did play, but he didn't make much of an impact), your UCLA Bruins annihilated the Cal State Dominguez Hills Toros at home in Pauley Pavilion to the tune of a 97-56 massacre this Halloween.
