LOS ANGELES (AP) — Vladislav Goldin scored 21 of his career-high 36 points in the first half to lead No. 24 Michigan over 22nd-ranked UCLA 94-75 on Tuesday night in the Wolverines’ fourth straight victory.

The 7-foot-1 Russian asserted himself in the game’s opening minutes with back-to-back one-handed dunks over Tyler Bilodeau, who gave up 4 inches and 20 pounds to Goldin. On the second jam, Bilodeau got knocked to the floor.

Tre Donaldson added 20 points for the Wolverines (12-3, 4-0 Big Ten).

The Wolverines twice led by 18 points in the first half before going scoreless over the final 2:22 to lead 47-37 at halftime.

Bilodeau and Sebastian Mack each scored 17 points to lead four players in double figures for UCLA (11-4, 2-2).
