UCLA overcame an uneven offensive performance to pull away from Chaminade 74-48 in consolation bracket action at the Maui Invitational on Tuesday.

The Bruins (5-2) faced a turnaround of less than 16 hours between their loss Monday night to BYU and Tuesday's game against the Division II Silverswords. The offensive inefficiency that dogged them through BYU's game-ending 27-11 run seemed to carry over, as UCLA committed 18 turnovers.

Chaminade (2-2) hung around as a result, with UCLA pushing its lead to double-digits for the first time at 15:25 to go in the second half. The Bruins began to more effectively exploit their size advantage, attacking the interior for a 42-20 points-in-the-paint edge.

Four Bruins scored in double-figures, led off the bench with by Jaime Jaquez Jr. with game-highs of 17 points and 12 rebounds. Cody Riley added 15 points and six rebounds, David Singleton scored 15 points, and Prince Ali added 10 points. Tyger Campbell dished six assists and grabbed five rebounds.

UCLA also exploited its size advantage by outrebounding Chaminade 45-29 and blocking seven shots. Jalen Hill posted three blocks to lead the way.

The first half proved especially lethargic on offense, with UCLA leading just 22-16 at intermission. The Bruins went 0-for-6 from behind the 3-point line in the first half, and just 10 of 24 from the floor. Chaminade shot 1 of 10 from deep and 6 of 31 overall in the first half.

The second half did not prove any better offensively for Chaminade, which made just 14.3 percent of its 3-point attempts and 23.3 percent from the field.

No Silversword reached double-figures until Eliet Donley made two free throws to reach 10 points with 1:50 remaining. Tyler Cartaino was Chaminade's next-leading scorer with nine points.

Chaminade endured a 5:10 stretch without making a field goal late in the second half. Isaac Amaral-Artharee ended the drought with a 3-pointer, but by then, UCLA had extended its lead to 19 points.

The Bruins outscored Chaminade over the game's final 13 minutes, 37-20.

UCLA faces No. 3-ranked Michigan State on Wednesday in the tournament finale for both teams. Chaminade takes on Georgia, which nearly rallied from a 28-point deficit in its loss to Michigan State on Tuesday.
