LOS ANGELES — It’s always something with this team.
On a night Tyger Campbell returned from a one-game absence, UCLA played without leading scorer Johnny Juzang and forward Cody Riley, depriving the Bruins of two top players. Their ranks were further thinned only 15 seconds into the game when Campbell hunched over in anguish while grabbing his left shoulder and was forced to join his sidelined teammates.
Those who remained were clearly rattled by all the absences. UCLA missed its first eight shots against Washington, threw tentative passes and looked like it needed a reintroduction to basketball.
