LOS ANGELES -- After running out to a 19-9 lead with 11 minutes remaining, No. 2 UCLA has let George Washington climb back into the game, holding just a three-point lead with 7:35 to go before halftime.

UCLA is struggling to shoot the ball after opening the game on fire from the perimeter, and UCLA coach Ben Howland has been forced to take a timeout with the way the Colonials have charged back in the last couple of minutes.
