Portland, coming off a seven-point win over Oregon, never trailed. It wasUCLA’s largest margin of defeat since losing 87-52 to Arizona on Jan. 18, 2003.

Malcolm Lee had 14 points and five rebounds and Drew Gordon 10 points forthe Bruins (2-2), who will play No. 12 Butler in a consolation game Friday.

The Pilots, picked second in the West Coast Conference preseason coachespoll, knifed through UCLA’s defense with ease, scoring off the dribble andmaking 3-pointers.

Entering the game having made 52.1 percent of their 3-point attempts, thePilots continued making a barrage of long-distance shots to bury the Bruins.Portland sank 11 of 19 3-pointers and shot 54.2 percent overall.

Conversely, UCLA shot 32.7 percent overall and 21.7 percent on 3-pointers.The Bruins converted just 6 of 14 free throws.

The 47 points were the fewest UCLA had scored since a 55-48 loss toWashington State on Feb. 5, 2004.

UCLA was so inept on both ends of the court that a fan sitting across fromthe Portland bench yelled late in the second half, “Come on, you’reembarrassing us!” and, “Come on, have some pride! Let’s go!”

Stohl made all five of his 3-point attempts to move up to third on thePilots’ career list for 3-point baskets, while Nik Raivio contributed 13 pointsand five assists.

UCLA forward Nikola Dragovic rejoined the team after serving a two-gamesuspension. Dragovic, who finished with three points, was suspended after he wasarrested in an assault case. He was reinstated Tuesday.

The Pilots made 6 of 8 3-pointers and shot 57.1 percent from the field enroute to a 36-19 halftime lead.
