LOS ANGELES (AP) – Washington's five-game win streak was snapped on Tuesday as the Huskies fell to UCLA, 69-58, in the first-ever Big Ten Conference game for both programs.
After a 12-0 UCLA run that made it 23-12, the Huskies scored the next nine points as UCLA went scoreless for 6-plus minutes to trim the deficit to two.
Mekhi Mason hit a 3-pointer that pulled Washington within a bucket at 45-43 with 11 minutes remaining. Eric Dailey Jr. answered with a bucket in the lane, Tyler Bilodeau and Mack each added a three-point play and Andrews hit a 3-pointer to make it a 13-point lead less than 2 minutes later.
Great Osobor led Washington with 14 points, nine rebounds and four assists for Washington. Tyler Harris scored 12 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for his first career double-double.
Zoom Diallo grabbed a career-best seven rebounds.
Washington (6-2) was coming off of a 76-69 win over Santa Clara in the championship game of the Acrisure Invitational on Friday.
The Huskies have won just eight times in 78 meetings in Los Angeles with their long-time Pac-12 foes and have not won at Pauley Pavilion since 2016. Washington beat the Bruins 94-77 in Seattle last season to snap a nine-game skid in the series.
The Dawgs return home for another B1G tilt on Saturday as USC comes to Alaska Airlines Arena for a 3 p.m. tip. Tickets are available.
