UCLA men's basketball sets program record with 106-37 rout of Arkansas-Pine Bluff
The UCLA Bruins dominated the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions. Their 69-point margin of victory was the largest in school history.
On November 11, the UCLA men's basketball team shattered their own record with a resounding 106-37 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff. The 69-point margin marked the largest in program history. Forward Nikola Kusturica led the charge with 17 points, shooting 7-of-9, while contributing three rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes.
Four Bruins registered double-digit scores, with Eric Dailey Jr. leading in rebounds and Trent Perry in assists. The first half was particularly lopsided, with UCLA leading by a staggering 51-9 after 20 minutes, the fewest points allowed by the team in over 50 years. The Bruins dominated with a stifling defense that forced 21 turnovers, which they converted into 45 points off turnovers alone.
Kusturica's impressive performance has made him a sought-after player, with fans eagerly anticipating his stock. The Bruins are now 3-0 on the season, following an unexpected upset win against Arizona earlier in the week, propelling them to a No. 15 ranking in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll.
