Bruins go cold from the free-throw line, then lose the game 74-72 in the final seconds at Pauley Pavilion
LOS ANGELES — Jaylen slapped the floor with two hands. The sophomore pulled his jersey over his face as the Belmont bench celebrated.
A defensive breakdown in the final moments ended UCLA’s three-game losing streak as Belmont’s Kevin McClain found a wide-open cutting lane and laid in the winning shot with 3.2 seconds remaining in a 74-72 UCLA loss in Pauley Pavilion on Saturday.
Illustrative of UCLA’s second-half struggles in the game, the team’s would-be last chance ended in a turnover when a miscommunication led to Cody Riley throwing the ball out of bounds behind Hands.
