LOS ANGELES (AP) UCLA took a huge loss before its game against Colorado began. The Bruins found out second-leading scorer and rebounder Chris Smith has a torn ACL and his career in Westwood is likely over.
Still, they came together and rallied for a 65-62 victory over the Buffaloes on Saturday night, extending their home winning streak to 13 games.
“We were all heartbroken,” said Jaime Jaquez Jr., who scored a game-high 14 points. “It’s his senior year and we’re expecting great things. We’re going to try to play this season for him.”
