UCLA 78, WASHINGTON STATE 46: Tyler Lamb buried four of UCLA’s 10 3-pointers, and the Bruins continued their dominance over the visiting Cougars.

Lamb finished with 16 points and David Wear added 13 as UCLA remained in sixth place in the conference with one game remaining.

Washington State (14-15, 6-11) was paced by Brock Motum with 18 points and seven rebounds, though Motum finished 6 for 17 from the floor and missed all five of his 3-point attempts.

The Cougars have lost seven of their last nine games.

GAME NOTEBOOK: The Bruins were the subject of a scathing article in Sports Illustrated this week focusing on the lack of discipline enforced by coach Ben Howland and drug use by the players … UCLA led 38-19 at the half. … UCLA has won 12 of its last 13 games at home.
