Lonzo Ball won the battle with fellow phenom Markelle Fultz. He out-dueled the Husky guard to the tune of 22 points on 7-of-12 shooting with six rebounds and five assists. He also got help from his talented supporters like T.J. Leaf (20 points, 10 boards) and Bryce Alford (21 points). UCLA is still bad defensively but is a lock for a decent seed in the Big Dance.
