COLLEGE PARK, Md.—Jaylen Clark scored 19 points, and No. 16 UCLA raced out to a 30-point lead in the first half before cruising to an 87–60 victory over No. 20 Maryland on Wednesday night, Dec. 14.

On the same day the University of California Board of Regents voted to affirm UCLA’s move to the Big Ten, the Bruins (9–2) had a chance to size up a future conference foe. It wasn’t much of a contest.
