No. 22 UCLA Bruins secured a dominant victory over the North Florida Ospreys on Friday, November 6, 2026, at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. Freshman forward Nikola Kusturica paced the Bruins in the lopsided win, showcasing his talent early in the season.

The game marked an impressive start for the highly touted freshman, who drove to the basket repeatedly and contributed significantly to UCLA's offensive output. The Bruins' depth and defensive pressure overwhelmed the Ospreys throughout the contest.

UCLA's coaching staff will look to build on this performance as the team prepares for upcoming conference play.
