LOS ANGELES (AP) UCLA’s basketball team has not been known for its defensive prowess this season, not by a long stretch. What a turn of events that the Bruins were kicking themselves for letting Cal get to 40 points on Sunday.

Chris Smith scored 17 points, Jalen Hill and Jaime Jaquez Jr. each added 11 points, and UCLA defeated California 50-40.

“When you can hold a team to 40 points it’s a good thing. We should’ve held them to a lot less than 40,” Smith said. “We gave them a lot of layups, offensive rebounds and second chance points. It was a decent defensive performance, but we could’ve done better.”
