Kenny Fields led UCLA with 18 points while Rod Foster chipped in 14 points.

UCLA led 34-32 at halftime, but Utah shot 73.7 percent (14-for-19) from the field in the second half to end the Bruins' season (23-5 record). UCLA Head Coach Ben Howland is 0-1 all-time against the Utes. Assistant Coach Scott Garson, who earned his master's degree from Utah in 2003, spent five seasons (administrative asst./head manager, 1999-2002; video coordinator, 2002-03 and assistant coach, 2003-04) on Rick Majerus' staff.
CHARTING COACH HOWLAND

Howland's first career victory was his first game at Northern Arizona in 1994, a 71-69 victory over New Mexico Highlands. His 100th career victory came in his second season at Pittsburgh in the 77-65 win at home over Seton Hall (Jan. 13, 2001). His 200th win came in his third season at UCLA with the 56-37 home win over Delaware State (Nov. 19, 2005). Howland is 19-9 (.679) in the NCAA Tournament (15-6 (.714) at UCLA).
