Tyler Bilodeau scored 16 points, Sebastian Mack recorded 12 of his 16 points in the second half, and UCLA opened Big Ten Conference play with a 69-58 home win over Washington on Tuesday in Los Angeles.

The Bruins (7-1, 1-0 Big Ten) remained perfect at home and picked up their sixth straight win, leading most of the way in their first Big Ten game against longtime Pac-12 counterpart Washington.

UCLA jumped ahead midway through the first half on the strength of a 12-0 run, taking a lead it never relinquished.

The Huskies (6-2, 0-1) chipped away through the late first half and into the second, eventually cutting the deficit to two points on Mekhi Mason's 3-pointer with 11:03 remaining. That was Washington's last gasp, as UCLA responded with 11 unanswered points in the next 1:57.

Dylan Andrews' 3-pointer punctuated the run, which gave the Bruins an advantage that never dipped to fewer than seven points the rest of the way. Washington pulled to within seven with 2:36 remaining, but another 3-pointer by Andrews effectively put the game away.

Andrews joined Bilodeau and Mack scoring in double figures for UCLA. He notched 10 of his 12 points in the second half.

Mack dished three assists coming off the Bruins' bench and grabbed five rebounds, while Bilodeau pulled down a team-high nine rebounds.

Tyler Harris finished with a double-double in Washington's losing effort, scoring 12 points with 11 rebounds. Great Osobor flirted with his own double-double, grabbing nine rebounds to go with a team-high 14 points.

Osobor struggled at the free-throw line, however, going 6 of 11. Washington labored from the floor as well, finishing 19 of 49, including 3 of 16 from beyond the 3-point arc.

The Huskies also committed 12 turnovers - eight by Osobor under consistent pressure from UCLA's defense - which the Bruins cashed in for 18 points.
