LOS ANGELES — Nearly everything was trending the wrong way for UCLA, jeopardizing the nation’s longest winning streak among major conference teams.
Shots didn’t fall. Neither did free throws. Foul-plagued center Adem Bona was scoreless at halftime.
With a little more than 10 minutes left Saturday evening, the Bruins trailed Colorado by nine points. An increasingly restless Pauley Pavilion crowd groaned after one UCLA possession ended with three missed three-pointers by David Singleton, part of the Bruins’ game-opening 0-for-15 stretch from beyond the arc.
