UCLA Bruins vs Stanford Cardinal Match Player Stats On Feb 16, 2019

Stanford responded with a 15-3 burst after a long halftime delay caused by a loose rim Saturday night, opening a big lead en route to a 104-80 victory over visiting UCLA.

Josh Sharma had 22 points, KZ Okpala 20 and Cormac Ryan 19 in a balanced attack as the Cardinal (14-11, 7-6 Pac-12) went over 100 points for just the fourth time since 1950 in the rivalry between the California schools.

Sophomore Jaylen Hands poured in a career-best 29 points for the Bruins (13-13, 6-7), who had beaten Stanford 92-70 at home last month.

After the Cardinal used a 26-5 run in the first half to help build a 49-40 halftime lead, a decision was made at the break to replace both baskets with portable standards when the rim at which Stanford had shot in the first half was deemed to have been too loose to continue in operation.

The teams stayed in the locker room while the changes, which took about a half-hour, were made, and then they were given 10 minutes to warm up for the second half.

UCLA had trouble figuring out the new hoop, recording just one field goal in the first 4:49 of the second half as Stanford pulled away.

Okpala had two baskets, including a 3-pointer, while Sharma and Daejon Davis contributed dunks to the surge that opened a 64-43 advantage.

The Bruins never seriously threatened the rest of the way.

Sharma had a game-high 12 rebounds for Stanford, which completed a home sweep of the Los Angeles schools after having dispatched Southern California 79-76 on Wednesday.

Davis also recorded a double-double for the Cardinal with 12 points and a game-high 11 assists, while Oscar da Silva collected 10 rebounds to go with eight points.

Fifteen of Ryan's 19 points came on 3-pointers as Stanford outscored UCLA 30-21 from beyond the arc.

Hands shot 8-for-14 overall and 10-for-11 on free throws to account for his point total, which bested his previous high of 27 set last week against Utah.

Jules Bernard added 19 points for Bruins, who were outshot 52.9 percent to 36.9 percent from the floor.

Stanford's first-half flurry occurred immediately after UCLA had scored 11 of the game's first 13 points. Hands had seven of the Bruins' first 11 points, including a three-point play, while Moses Brown contributed the other four.

Ryan had 11 of Stanford's 26 points in the game-swinging run, which produced a 28-16 lead. Nine of the 11 points came on three 3-pointers.
