Hot shooting carries No. 24 Michigan past No. 22 UCLA

Tre Donaldson's hot 3-point shooting helped No. 24-ranked Michigan recover after coughing up an 18-point lead, and the Wolverines knocked off No. 22 UCLA 94-75 on Tuesday in Los Angeles.

Donaldson went 6 of 10 from long range en route to a career-high 20 points.

Michigan (12-3, 4-0 Big Ten) jumped out to a 13-2 lead less than five minutes into the game, then extended the advantage to 37-19 with 5:30 remaining before halftime.

But UCLA (11-4, 2-2), which came in 8-0 at Pauley Pavilion this season, whittled the deficit to 10 points by intermission. The Bruins then erupted for an 18-4 run over the first six minutes of the second half.

That's when Donaldson began to take over. He hit four 3-pointers over a stretch lasting more than six minutes, fueling an overall Michigan barrage from deep.

Will Tschetter knocked down a triple over that stretch, and Nimari Burnett also hit one during the burst and one shortly afterward. The Wolverines went 15 of 28 from beyond the arc for the game and hit 61.5 percent from the floor overall.

Michigan rode its hot shooting to the highest point total of any opponent against UCLA this season. The Bruins began the night holding teams to 59.2 points per game.

The Wolverines also had plenty of interior scoring contribution thanks to Vladislav Goldin, particularly in the first half. Goldin made nine of his first 10 field-goal attempts and scored 21 of his career-high 36 points in the first half.

Burnett, who went 3-of-4 from deep, finished with 17 points. Danny Wolf added 12 points, eight rebounds and six assists despite dealing with foul trouble for much of the second half. Donaldson added seven assists and six rebounds.

Sebastian Mack and Tyler Bilodeau each scored 17 points for UCLA, which dropped its second straight Big Ten decision. Eric Dailey Jr. added 13 points and Kobe Johnson finished with 12.
