UCLA defeated No. 10 Arizona by a convincing 71-49 margin on Saturday.

The Bruins scored 51 of their 71 points inside the paint.

“We need a few days to regroup,” UA coach Sean Miller said. “This trip (the fourth time Arizona was swept in L.A. in the last six years) taught us some lessons. … We played a team (UCLA) that is playing at a high level. We need to play at a high level.”

Arizona had no answers for UCLA’s frontcourt players Reeves Nelson, Tyler Honeycutt and Joshua Smith. The trio combined for 59 of UCLA’s points on 23-of-36 shooting from the field.

Smith, a freshman center, had 17 points, four rebounds, a career-high three assists, and one blocked shot. He shot 7-for-11 from the field.

Nelson, a sophomore power forward, finished with a career-high 25 points

Nikola Vucevic scored 25 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead USC to a 65-57 win against 10th-ranked Arizona.

The performance had two rows of NBA scouts scribbling notes and nodding with approval.

"The game is easy for him," one scout told CBS Sports.

Vucevic is averaging 19.3 points and 10.9 rebounds in Pac-10 games while shooting 53.6 percent from the field and 39.5 percent from 3-point range. He's scored at least 25 points four different times.

Where does Arizona star Derrick Williams rank among pro prospects? Right at the top, according to Steve Kerr.

Kerr said Williams was "not on the Kobe level" but would be a 20-point average NBA player.

"He’s probably a top five pick looking at this year’s draft, and it’s tough to pass up that kind of money," Kerr said. "But every player has to develop his own desires and needs. If money is an issue then he should come out. On the other hand, Sean Elliott stayed and Michael Jordan stayed until his junior year. Very rarely does it happen where a guy that highly thought of actually drops down but what did happen in the past was guys got better by staying and they had better pro careers. That's something they don’t think about.

"The only question is what position he’ll play," Kerr said. "A lot of people say he’s got to learn the three (small forward). I disagree. There’s a lot of smaller guys playing the four and he's versatile enough to handle the ball. So if you play him at the four, he can cause problems for people and he's so good around the basket."

Prior to facing Arizona, USC Coach Kevin O'Neill called Derrick Williams “the most protected dude since Michael Jordan.”

O'Neill was referring to how Williams leads the nation in free-throw attempts per game (9.2), and compared him to Jordan, who in his NBA career received so much star treatment from officials that conspiracy theories ran rampant. (Jordan averaged 8.2 free throws during his 15-year NBA career.)

"If the guy walks across the court, it's a foul," O'Neill said.

Derrick Williams, a 6-7, 210 pound small forward, is shooting 63.1 percent from the field and 67.5 percent from beyond the arc.

With his knack for drawing fouls, Williams is on track to set UA records for free throws attempted and free throws made, and he's on pace to crush Steve Kerr's three-point percentage mark of 57.3 percent.

At his current pace, Williams will also finish eighth on UA's all- time single-season scoring list with 650.

What's most impressive about the scoring mark, is that the highly efficient Williams isn't likely to finish anywhere close to the top 10 lists in field goals or field-goal attempts.

Angelo Chol announced his decision on Thursday to join Arizona's Class of 2011. Chol's addition gives Arizona one of its best classes in school history.

Chol, a 6-foot-9, 210 pound forward, is averaging 24.1 points, 14.9 rebounds and 8.0 blocked shots per game this season.

The other members of Arizona coach Sean Miller’s class of 2011 include Henderson (Nev.) Findlay Prep guard Nick Johnson, Winston-Salem (N.C.) Quality Education Academy guard Josiah Turner and Mouth of Wilson (Va.) Oak Hill Academy forward Sidiki Johnson.

Angelo Chol from San Diego’s Hoover High will announce his college choice on Thursday at his high school.

Chol is rated 76th by Rivals and is considering Kansas, Arizona and North Carolina. He has eliminated Washington and Alabama.

Chol is within 39 points of reaching 2,000 for his high school career.

Kyle Fogg matched a career high with 26 points in Arizona's 67-52 win at Arizona State. Fogg made six three-pointers in the effort.

"It felt like every shot that I put up was going to go in," said Fogg,

Lamont Jones hit a series of clutch shots to give No. 21 Arizona a 107-105 victory over Cal in a three-overtime thriller.

Jones scored a go-ahead lay-in with 1:03 left in the third overtime and also had a tying three-pointer with five seconds to go in the second overtime and the tying three-point play with 16 seconds to play in regulation.

He finished with a career-high 27 points in Arizona's fifth straight win.

"I've played like this my whole life," Jones said. "To other people it might be something new, but to me it's just another day in the life of MoMo Jones."

First-place Arizona moved 1½ games ahead of UCLA in the Pac-10 standings and two up on Washington.
