LAS VEGAS — Life without Jaylen Clark is going to be tough. Amari Bailey made sure it wasn’t unbearable.
In UCLA’s first game without its most relentless defender, it got an offensive barrage from its star freshman guard to ward off a huge upset.
Bailey’s career-high 26 points pushed the second-ranked and top-seeded Bruins to an 80-69 victory over ninth-seeded Colorado on Thursday afternoon in a Pac-12 tournament quarterfinal at T-Mobile Arena.
