A visit from the NFL seemed to have inspired the Bruins on Tuesday night.
With former-Husky-turned-Bruin Laiatu Latu – the 2023 Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year – in attendance, the Bruins’ defense took care of business against the Huskies.
In the programs’ 153rd meeting – and first as Big Ten opponents – UCLA men’s basketball (7-1, 1-0 Big Ten) defeated Washington (6-2, 0-1) by a score of 69-58 at Pauley Pavilion in both squads’ conference opener.

Mick Cronin’s first year as a Bruin head coach was nothing short of a rollercoaster.
A 19-12 finish to the season featured a 77-74 loss to the Titans – a defeat that impelled Cronin to issue an apology for the team’s lackluster defensive performance.
“I apologize to our fans for our defensive effort,” Cronin said after the 2019 game.
