STANFORD, Calif. (AP) -- Senior Josh Sharma scored 22 points and had 12 rebounds to lead Stanford to its largest victory over UCLA in 22 years in a 104-80 win over the Bruins Saturday night at Maples Pavilion.
The 24-point win over UCLA was its largest over the Bruins since the Cardinal posted a 109-61 victory on Jan. 9, 1997.
KZ Okpala added 20 points for the Cardinal (14-11, 7-6 Pac-12), who have won five of six. Cormac Ryan scored 14 of his season-high 19 points in the first half.
Jaylen Hands scored a career-high 29 points to lead the Bruins (13-13, 6-7), who have lost four of five. Jules Bernard scored 19 points.
Daejon Davis finished with 12 points and a career-high 11 assists, for his third career double-double.
The Cardinal continued its momentum in second half and built a 64-43 advantage in the first five minutes.
After trailing by 23 with 11:51 to play, the Bruins used full-court pressure and drew within nine seven minutes later.
UCLA raced to an 11-2 lead in the first five minutes of the game before Ryan hit his first 3-pointer, sparking a run that put the Cardinal ahead to stay.
Ryan was 4 of 5 from long range in the first half, leading Stanford to a 49-40 lead at the intermission.
The Cardinal topped the century mark in scoring for the first time since it recorded 107 points in a double overtime win over the Bruins on Jan. 4, 2018.
Stanford heads to Arizona this coming week, to face Arizona State in Tempe on Wednesday night.
