Luc Richard Mbah a Moute scored 21 points, and UCLA (No. 8 ESPN/USA Today, No. 7 AP) made up an 18-point deficit to beat Davidson 75-63 in the John Wooden Classic on Saturday.

The Bruins (8-1) joined No. 1 North Carolina and Duke, then ranked seventh, as powerhouse programs that got a scare from mid-major Davidson. The Wildcats (3-5) lost by a combined 10 points to the two ACC schools and had UCLA down the entire first half.

Stephen Curry, the son of former NBA 3-point specialist Dell Curry, led Davidson with 15 points, extending his streak of double-figure games to 35. Jason Richards added 13 points and seven assists, a category in which he leads the nation.

Josh Shipp added 15 points, Russell Westbrook had 14 and Darren Collison 10 for UCLA, which was coming off a two-point loss to Texas last weekend, its first of the season.

The Wildcats shot 52 percent in the first half when they had UCLA down by 18 on the strength of a 32-14 game-opening run. During one stretch, Bryant Barr and Thomas Sander combined to hit four consecutive 3-pointers.
