Isaiah Thomas added 17 points and nine assists, and Bryan-Amaning had 10 rebounds.
The Huskies swept a league road series to start the season for the first time since 1976, when they won at California and Stanford.
Reeves Nelson had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Tyler Honeycutt and Malcolm Lee added 12 points each for the Bruins (9-5, 1-1), who had their six-game winning streak snapped.
Joshua Smith, UCLA's 6-foot-10 center out of Kentwood High School, had nine points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes of play, but was in foul trouble all game and eventually fouled out for only the first time this season.
