The UCLA Bruins (1-0, 0-0 Big Ten) won their season opener against Eastern Washington, but the narrow 80-74 victory against a middling Big Sky team left a bad taste in their mouth.

After what was likely a harsh week of practice in Westwood, the Bruins are looking to bounce back against the Pepperdine Waves (1-0, 0-0 WCC) on Friday at home in hopes to put forth a better effort.

Follow along below for live updates of UCLA's Friday night home game against the Waves:

Second Half

15:38 -- Xavier Booker completely turned the game around for UCLA during the first second-half stint, erupting for five points and three blocks. A few Pepperdine buckets kept the game from getting to oout of hand. UCLA up 48-36.

First Half | UCLA 38 - 27 Pepperdine

00:00 -- Another abysmal first half for UCLA's offense. The Bruins are shooting 40.7% from the field and 2-for-10 from three. The only reason they are leading Pepperdine is because the Waves are shooting 32.1% from the field and 20.0% from deep. UCLA up 37-28.

03:58 -- UCLA's offense continues to struggle to get anything going. The result -- Pepperdine sticking around. Dent is yet to make a field goal and is 4-for-6 from the free throw line. UCLA up 32-24.

07:53 -- After an extended stretch on the bench, Donovan Dent returned and elevated the play of everyone. He has zero points and an assist. UCLA's supporting cast is stepping up. UCLA up 26-15.

11:55 -- Pepperdine punched UCLA in the mouth to start the game, grabbing an early lead, but a few scrappy defensive plays brought the Bruins back. UCLA up 16-15.

15:48 -- Skyy Clark and Eric Dailey get the Bruins started with five and three points. Tyler Bilodeau was subbed out 26 seconds into the game after picking up an early foul. UCLA up 8-7.
