Arizona State 78, UCLA 60: Jordan Bachynski took advantage of the short-handed Bruins and produced career highs of 22 points and 15 rebounds to lead the host Sun Devils in Pac-12 play.

Bachynski, a 7-2 junior center, also blocked six shots for Arizona State, which owned a 49-29 advantage on the boards. Carrick Felix had 23 points and 11 rebounds and Evan Gordon and Jahii Carson contributed 12 points apiece for the Sun Devils (16-4, 5-2 Pac-12).

Gilling finished with seven points, 12 rebounds and eight assists.
