SACRAMENTO — Questions about UCLA center Adem Bona’s health were looming ahead of the Bruins’ NCAA tournament opener. Each time Coach Mick Cronin answered questions about Bona’s left shoulder, his answer remained consistent, saying the 6-foot-11 freshman was “getting better.”
Bona suited up for UCLA’s first-round game, but he never played – not because he couldn’t – but because he didn’t need to as the second-seeded Bruins cruised to an 86-53 victory over the 15th-seeded Bulldogs on Thursday night in the Golden 1 Center. Jaime Jaquez scored 17 points on 8-of-14 shooting to go with eight rebounds and five steals, Amari Bailey added 17 points with six assists and three steals, and David Singleton pitched in 11 points, including three 3-pointers. Centers Kenneth Nwuba and Mac Etienne each scored 10 points and combined to go 9 for 9 from the field as UCLA shot 54% as a team.
