The number one ranked UCLA Bruins defeated the visiting UC Riverside Highlanders, 61-38 in a non-conference game in front of 8,397 fans at Pauley Pavilion in Westwood Sunday.
UCLA improved to 6-0 on the season, while the Highlanders fell to 3-5.
Freshman forward Henrik Thomsen led the Highlanders with eight points and senior guard Justin Bell had seven. Arron Affalo had a game-high 13 points for the Bruins, and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute had a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds.
The Highlanders held the Bruins to their lowest point total of the season, while the Bruins did the same to UCR. The 38 points scored by the Highlanders ties for the ninth lowest total points in a game in UCR history and is the lowest since they scored just 37 against UC Irvine last season.

The Highlanders trailed 26-16 at the intermission, having shot 26.1% (6-of-23) from the field. The Bruins struggled with their shooting as well in the early going, but warmed up as the game wore on, finishing the half at 44.0% (11-of-25). The Bruins were strong in the paint, outscoring UCR 18-6.
